Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureD
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Okie-Anoma has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Suamataia pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

If Jayden Daniels and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 8 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They did well to land Graham Barton in Round 2, Pick 2, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in the 66th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They read the board right and Kingsley Suamataia was the payoff at slot 71. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in No. 90 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in the 104th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Nice patience on Johnny Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 136. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 182 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma in No. 229 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
