Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
A passer of the future in Maye, and a B, for the Patriots.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Getting Flournoy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 23 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at No. 68 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slipping to the 103rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 137th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in pick 180, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
By-the-book stuff, Justin Eboigbe at Round 6, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
They robbed the room for Ryan Flournoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
