Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: 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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They are betting Boyd proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Brownlee Jr..

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 9 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 13th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 2. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ladd McConkey at pick No. 48 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slid further than he should have, and No. 96 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 103 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 137th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick153 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They paid sticker price for Fabien Lovett in No. 180, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 18, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Value said wait; Jalen Coker in the 231st overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
