Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says C.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Patriots indulged a want in Jackson while a need in interior defensive lineman and safety stayed open. If Wiley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Hit on Drake Maye and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Fautanu in Round 2, Pick 2. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 66th pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in pick 68, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick70 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in pick No. 70 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with interior defensive lineman and safety open.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in the 90th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They let Brenden Rice come to them and pounced at No. 104. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in slot 110, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray slipping to No. 136 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 182nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A conviction pick on Jared Wiley at pick No. 183 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 229th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
