Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B+.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Latham steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham in pick No. 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid a round early for Brian Thomas Jr. in the 40th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
A reach on Kamal Hadden in pick 223; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
