Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: A-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Every board in the league had Ezirim lower, and that gap is the story. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

However the rest shakes out, Jones at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A tidy little value on Cooper DeJean in No. 34, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
They paid a round early for Jaylen Wright in the 55th pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A real head-scratcher, Trey Benson in pick No. 68 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in the 101st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in Round 4, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 137 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ryan Flournoy this early at slot 180. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Value said wait; Jordan Magee in the 196th pick says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Josiah Ezirim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Josiah Ezirim. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 34: Donovan Jennings for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
