Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Patriots bet the future on Daniels. The board says B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. The Paul pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A conviction pick on Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Fair-plus on Kamren Kinchens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A quiet steal in the 47th overall pick: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in No. 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They read the board right and Zak Zinter was the payoff at pick 104. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in Round 4, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A slide stopped in pick No. 136, with Jarrian Jones worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick 182 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
The board had Isaiah Neyor higher than the 229th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
