Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureC+
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

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.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Smith-Wade value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 2. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 68 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Nothing to complain about; Cade Stover went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chau Smith-Wade in the 137th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
