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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 103. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at slot 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Nothing to complain about; Roger Rosengarten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They took Darius Muasau at par in the 224th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at No. 232 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
