Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hadden. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 3 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Troy Franklin at pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 67, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden is a better player than No. 181 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 224th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
