Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Milroe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels in Round 1, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A straight-up fair deal on Keon Coleman at the 35th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
No edge and no loss on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 67th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in slot 140, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 181 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Milroe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Milroe well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
