Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: B.

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.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Whittington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
No drama and no debate, Drake Maye went about where he belonged in No. 3. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 35th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Good price on Leonard Taylor III in pick 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Graham Barton
By-the-book stuff, Graham Barton at pick No. 103 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in slot 140, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They let De'Corian Clark come to them and pounced at the 181st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Jordan Whittington for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
