Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a B-, for the Patriots.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Vidal pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good price on Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in pick No. 68. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They did well to land Brenden Rice in the 103rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in No. 193, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No edge and no loss on Trevin Wallace in the 231st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
