New England Patriots

The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

Future A

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
In the 11th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 70
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 104
They took Maason Smith at par in pick No. 103, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 139
Elijah Jones in No. 137 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 158
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 31, where Jaylin Simpson graded well above the range. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
