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

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.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to slot 68. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 102 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 36: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Gould at the 179th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
