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

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Every board in the league had McMahon lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at the 34th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in pick 68. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in Round 4, Pick 2 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 136th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 179 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in slot 231 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
