Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a 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.

The cost of the Milroe reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 41 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A conviction pick on Amarius Mims at pick No. 67 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Tahj Brooks at the 140th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
A reach for Christian Mahogany in Round 6, Pick 6; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
