The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says A-. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Jean-Baptiste has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The McGlothern pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Bottom line, with Drake Maye leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In the 7th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in pick No. 38, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They paid up for Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at No. 65, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in the 66th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They liked Maason Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 100. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in pick 102, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They went early on Javon Solomon in pick 103, and the value did not follow. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Jones in slot 118. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in No. 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in the 134th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They jumped the gun on Marist Liufau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at Round 5, Pick 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
They let Dwight McGlothern come to them and pounced at pick No. 176. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick185
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They paid a round early for Myles Cole in the 185th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javontae Jean-Baptiste well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
