Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

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. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the 34th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 68th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 136 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 182 with a little surplus value in Frank Gore Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
They will replay Daijahn Anthony at No. 229 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
