Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The cost of the Foster reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 5th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Nice patience on Brian Thomas Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 2. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They liked Jaylen Wright enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach for Javon Foster in the 104th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They went early on Jarrian Jones in slot 136, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Value with a capital V on Kamal Hadden in No. 182, a genuine coup. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick229 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javontae Jean-Baptiste. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
