Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B for the Patriots.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Vidal reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in the 86th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Jalen McMillan. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson slid further than he should have, and slot 137 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marist Liufau in No. 180. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at pick 186. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They paid a round early for Tanner McLachlan in pick 193, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
