Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Maye. 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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Fair-plus on Xavier Legette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in slot 68, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 139th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the 182nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
