New England Patriots

The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

Future 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.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
Ladd McConkey at slot 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 69
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 85
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 90th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 103
No drama and no debate, DeWayne Carter went about where he belonged in the 103rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 137
Jarrian Jones at pick 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 189
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 193 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
The board had Jordan Magee higher than pick 231, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
