Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B.

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.

The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
No drama and no debate, Drake Maye went about where he belonged in the 3rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nice patience on Jordan Morgan, who had no business lasting to pick No. 34. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Nothing to complain about; Jermaine Burton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Shemar Turner in the 142nd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
No edge and no loss on Austin Stogner in pick 182; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
