Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: A-.

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. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ali. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 7 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 26 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 6: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quinyon Mitchell in No. 68, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A tidy bit of business in the 103rd overall pick, where Bucky Irving graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommy Eichenberg at slot 139 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slipping to the 182nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the 188th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
A running back of that caliber at No. 224 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They will replay Sam Hartman at pick 225 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
