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

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Kitan Oladapo, the No. 168 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The cost of the Van Pran reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reach on Patrick Paul in the 34th pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 7 with a little surplus value in Xavier Legette. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A conviction pick on Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They talked themselves into Sedrick Van Pran at pick 68, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 104th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in pick No. 136, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A slide stopped in No. 182, with LaDarius Henderson worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in slot 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
