Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA+
Daniels is the Patriots' new face under center. 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. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
If Nelson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 7th overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in No. 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 66th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
No edge and no loss on Caelen Carson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102
Rnd4
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 102 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 139 is lovely value for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
Fair-plus on Jack Nelson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jasheen Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jasheen Davis. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209
Rnd6
Ricky Pearsall
A quiet steal in No. 209: Ricky Pearsall for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Walter Rouse this early at the 216th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221
Rnd7
Reuben Fatheree II
A conviction pick on Reuben Fatheree II at Round 7, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223
Rnd7
Zion Nelson
They reached into another round for Zion Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Nelson Ceaser
The board had Nelson Ceaser higher than the Round 7 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the 241st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
