Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Davis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Liufau pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They let Javon Bullard come to them and pounced at the 75th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slid further than he should have, and the 103rd overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Edwards in slot 110. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Malik Washington
A real head-scratcher, Malik Washington in Round 5, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to No. 140. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
A wild overpay on J.C. Davis in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
