Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a C+.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

They will need Harrell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If Drake Maye and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in No. 56 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the 102nd overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Fair-plus on Ben Sinnott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in Round 6, Pick 17 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at pick 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
