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

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in slot 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matt Goncalves in the 109th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 139 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 141, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in the 181st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick182 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andru Phillips at the 182nd pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick201 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick No. 201 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
No edge and no loss on Steele Chambers in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
