Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a C+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If Byrd pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On value alone, McGlothern makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 103rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at slot 137 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in the 143rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 180 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 193, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Solomon Byrd this early at No. 231. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
