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

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Getting Phillips where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They are betting Coker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 5, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
They did well to land T'Vondre Sweat in slot 68, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick No. 103 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany slid further than he should have, and No. 110 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Coker this early at pick 180. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the 193rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Value with a capital V on Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
