Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says A-.

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. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in pick No. 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in slot 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at pick 68. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 136th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 182nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Christian Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Jones in No. 229, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
