Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B+.

Nobody had Erick All this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 69 spots to get him at No. 223.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Amarius Mims in pick 34. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 66th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
No edge and no loss on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 67th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 102 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 139 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 180 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Erick All
A big swing on Erick All at Round 7, Pick 3, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
