Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
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.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at slot 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 90th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
No drama and no debate, DeWayne Carter went about where he belonged in the 103rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 193 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
The board had Jordan Magee higher than pick 231, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
