Brop9404 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
Every board in the league had Stover lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In the 3rd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick No. 103 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They went early on Jawhar Jordan in the 224th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
