Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureD-
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Capehart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety and tight end. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.
The Jenkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 4 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick32
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In No. 32 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in the 34th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins is a better player than Round 2, Pick 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 68th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103
Rnd4
Max Melton
They paid up for Max Melton at pick No. 103 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A surprising call. With safety and tight end still to address, they spent pick 132 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick141
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 141, where Nehemiah Pritchett graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
They jumped the gun on Jacob Cowing, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 181st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
They paid a round early for Cody Schrader in slot 223, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253
Rnd7
Caleb Murphy
Caleb Murphy at Round 7, Pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
