Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a A- weekend for the Patriots.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 2 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slipping to pick No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A tidy little value on Jalen McMillan in the 103rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Beau Brade
A reasonable price with a little left over, Beau Brade in No. 137. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They went early on Cornelius Johnson in the 180th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid up for Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
