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

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took DeJean.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in the 34th overall pick, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Good price on T'Vondre Sweat in slot 52, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 103 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Nice patience on Malik Mustapha, who had no business lasting to pick 180. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in the 193rd pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 231 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
