Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B+.

The Patriots bet big and early on Trey Knox, 67 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cowing.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 7 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No edge and no loss on Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in No. 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 3 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the 92nd overall pick with a little surplus value in McKinnley Jackson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 103 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
Taking Antwane Wells Jr. in the 130th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 140, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 181st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in Round 7, Pick 4, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick 251 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
