Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a B+, for the Patriots.

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. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wiley. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The cost of the Watson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 26th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in the 57th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick No. 68 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in pick 182, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 184th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Solomon Byrd. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at slot 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
Taking Michael Wiley in No. 235 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
