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.

The Anderson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Patriots indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 80th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 115 on Javon Solomon with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
By-the-book stuff, Jaheim Bell at the 139th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylan Ford in pick No. 182. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They did well to land Jase McClellan in pick 224, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in No. 232 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at slot 254. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
