Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That Fashanu pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 8 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Devontez Walker well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in slot 103. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at Round 5, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 143rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the 180th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They did well to land Curtis Jacobs in pick 193, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 231st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
