Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A.

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 board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The veteran additions, Kaleb McGary chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
Drake Maye in No. 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in pick No. 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 50th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 4: Malachi Corley for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than the 103rd pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 5 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 171 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
No edge and no loss on Braiden McGregor in slot 172; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in pick 180 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They paid sticker price for Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Fair-plus on Nathan Thomas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
