Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: A-.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Kamal Hadden, 98 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 7 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They talked themselves into Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 2, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in the 66th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in slot 102. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 138 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
