rojo DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: B-. The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Taylor-Demerson at that price is a win they earned.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In the 3rd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Graham Barton
A reach for Graham Barton in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at slot 68 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 104th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Value with a capital V on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 182, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in No. 229, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
