Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B-.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Getting Dixon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They are betting Gore Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 3rd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in No. 68, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Good price on MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 137th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at pick 180 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in slot 231 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
