Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a B, for the Patriots.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took James. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 3 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 16th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 43 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Patrick Paul at No. 79. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at Round 4, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Keegan. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
They robbed the room for Xavier Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 231 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
