Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: 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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Clark value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 3 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in slot 34. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 103rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A slide stopped in the 139th pick, with Cam Hart worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 6, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 224 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
