Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a A-, for the Patriots.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Rouse has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 6th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Nothing to complain about; Terrion Arnold went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermaine Burton in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 103 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They went early on Tate Ratledge in No. 105, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They liked Junior Colson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 6. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease in slot 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Value with a capital V on Mohamed Kamara in pick 143, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in No. 181, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 224th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
