FutureA
The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says A-. 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. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Holker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 58 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They took Ja'Lynn Polk at par in No. 66, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 90th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 104th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139
Rnd5
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick No. 180 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Dallin Holker
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Dallin Holker in No. 223, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
