Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If Whittington pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Polk pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk is a better player than Round 3, Pick 4 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jamari Thrash at the 103rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A straight-up fair deal on Dallin Holker at pick 139, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at the 182nd pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at No. 224 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A big swing on Jordan Whittington at pick No. 232, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
