Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB+
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Holker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They banked enough surplus on Greenfield to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 68th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at No. 92 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dallin Holker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
No edge and no loss on Nelson Ceaser in Round 4, Pick 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A real head-scratcher, Kitan Oladapo in slot 137 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in pick No. 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Value with a capital V on Garret Greenfield in the 229th pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
