Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureF
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

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. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Vaki steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The Tee Higgins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 20 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 27 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 34th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They did well to land Blake Corum in the 90th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at No. 182 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
