Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B-.

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.

On value alone, Kneeland makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They took Devontez Walker at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott slipping to pick No. 137 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Somehow Dwight McGlothern was still sitting there in pick 180, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They paid a round early for Ryan Flournoy in slot 193, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in No. 231; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
