Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: B-.

Nobody had Logan Brown this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 116 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No drama and no debate, Ladd McConkey went about where he belonged in slot 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Audric Estime well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Nothing to complain about; Dominick Puni went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 136th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Baker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Logan Brown
Value said wait; Logan Brown in Round 7, Pick 9 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
