Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Wiley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 34 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in No. 113 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Simpson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
A tidy little value on Anthony Gould in slot 149, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at Round 6, Pick 18 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
