Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Schrader. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Duke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Adonai Mitchell in No. 34, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 17. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 DJ James
They robbed the room for DJ James here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick 116 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams slipping to slot 136 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the 140th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in slot 182 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keaton Bills. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke in pick 255 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
