Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
By-the-book stuff, Amarius Mims at No. 36 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A tidy little value on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
