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

On value alone, Lovett makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 3rd pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A straight-up fair deal on Adisa Isaac at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson slipping to No. 103 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaden Hicks at pick No. 139 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
They took Austin Stogner at par in pick 182, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 224th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
