Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Taylor-Demerson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Adonai Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in No. 68, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A quiet steal in the 103rd overall pick: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in pick No. 180 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid up for Jared Wiley at the 193rd pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in pick 231, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
