Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Daniels is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hartman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 5 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick26 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the 26th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They did well to land Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 2, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to slot 68. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 69th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 103 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Blake Fisher. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They liked Ainias Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 105. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaheim Bell in pick 139. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A slide stopped in pick No. 182, with Frank Gore Jr. worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sam Hartman in slot 224. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid sticker price for Joshua Cephus in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
