Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. 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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Lee has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Arnold pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Value with a capital V on Terrion Arnold in the 34th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in Round 3, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A reach on Matt Goncalves in No. 103; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They liked Jacob Cowing enough to skip the value, taking him in the 137th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 193 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Matt Lee
They talked themselves into Matt Lee at pick 231, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
