Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B+.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Torrence at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Raym reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 24 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in pick No. 35, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 2: Xavier Worthy for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in the 69th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at the 108th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They paid a round early for Dallin Holker in the 137th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in slot 162 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
The board had Marist Liufau higher than No. 180, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Jefferson at the 193rd overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Raym well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
They will replay Ro Torrence at pick 231 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
