Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: C-. 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. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Kneeland pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. in pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick8
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick68
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 68 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse slipping to the 182nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
