Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureD
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a C+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

If Drake Maye and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in Round 2, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Good price on Patrick Paul in pick No. 50, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
