Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: B-.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Davis value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Every board in the league had Washington lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 5th pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 4, where Jonathon Brooks graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Value with a capital V on Kiran Amegadjie in the 69th overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A reach on Malik Washington in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in slot 182 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 224 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board had cheaper options than Joshua Cephus at pick No. 226, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
They will replay Isaiah Davis at slot 232 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
