Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ 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.

The Gore Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McMillan. The Patriots indulged a want in Jackson while a need in tight end stayed open.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They paid sticker price for Olumuyiwa Fashanu in slot 10, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick18 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 18th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Fair-plus on Kool-Aid McKinstry, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick35 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 43 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the 49th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at pick 52 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in slot 68, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Khyree Jackson, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick115 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Maason Smith at pick No. 115 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jalen McMillan
The board fumbled Jalen McMillan all the way to the 137th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Sataoa Laumea
They will replay Sataoa Laumea at Round 6, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kalen King
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kalen King. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at pick 231. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
