Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-

Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Simpson at that price is a win they earned. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him. 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
In pick No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Adonai Mitchell in No. 34, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 4. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 103rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A conviction pick on Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the 182nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jared Wiley in slot 224, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at pick 232 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
