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

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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The McLachlan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They banked enough surplus on Leveston to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 6 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A clean, defensible pick in No. 34 with a little surplus value in Tyler Guyton. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick No. 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in the 103rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
A tidy little value on Bucky Irving in pick 137, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 180th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at Round 6, Pick 18 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing KT Leveston in Round 7, Pick 11. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
