Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a A.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Getting McMillan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 16 they get their quarterback of the future, and a steal at that.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in Round 2, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 68th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at pick No. 103 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at slot 139 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Somehow LaDarius Henderson was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
You do not let a safety like Josh Proctor reach the 224th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
Taking Michael Wiley in pick 232 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
