Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B-, for the Patriots.

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

If one pick saves this weekend, it is All. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

If Hunt pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 3 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 68 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in pick 103, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They jumped the gun on Jalyx Hunt, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at the 180th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A tidy little value on Cornelius Johnson in No. 193, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Erick All
They barely believed it either: Erick All still on the board at Round 7, Pick 11. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
