Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a B+ weekend for the Patriots.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The All pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
Drake Maye at the 5th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in No. 34, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They went early on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in slot 103, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
The board had cheaper options than McKinnley Jackson at pick 110, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in pick No. 180 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Nothing to complain about; Tahj Washington went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
