Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Baker to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 3rd pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Legette in pick No. 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 68 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in pick 103 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in Round 6, Pick 5 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in the 193rd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in slot 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
