Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

However the rest shakes out, Torrence at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Every board in the league had Wiley lower, and that gap is the story.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 11 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 68 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They did well to land MarShawn Lloyd in No. 103, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at the 137th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in Round 6, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in the 193rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 231 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in slot 232, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
