Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Walker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 6th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at pick 103, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in Round 6, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
