Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 4 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 26 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 68 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 103rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 James Williams
They let James Williams come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 3. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A straight-up fair deal on AJ Barner at slot 182, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Christian Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
