Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: B+. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Lindberg has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In the 7th pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 34 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick104
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
By-the-book stuff, Blake Fisher at the 104th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick No. 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
No drama and no debate, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint went about where he belonged in No. 151. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
They paid sticker price for Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 158, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They paid up for Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taulia Tagovailoa well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233
Rnd7
David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu in slot 233 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick248
Rnd7
Chad Lindberg
They talked themselves into Chad Lindberg at the 248th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
