Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots bet the future on Daniels. The board says C+.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Landing Jenkins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 10 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nice patience on Jordan Morgan, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 70th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 139 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at slot 224 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in the 229th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick232 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Gentry. A minor itch, scratched.
