Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

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.

They are betting Thomas proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Guyton at that price is a win they earned.

The Hunt pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and safety still on the board. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
They paid sticker price for Drake Maye in Round 1, Pick 3, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Guyton reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Of all the spots to shop, they chose S-EDGE. Jalyx Hunt in slot 124 leaves interior defensive lineman and safety for later.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 128 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 136 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 182nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at pick No. 229 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at slot 236, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
