Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 3 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Corley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in No. 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
