Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jack Westover; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 89 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 11. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. 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
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 5 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They took Ladd McConkey at par in the 34th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 103rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 137 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in Round 6, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jack Westover
A wild overpay on Jack Westover in the 231st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
