A franchise passer in Maye headlines a B- weekend for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

That Davis pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Duck has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in slot 103. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in No. 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ray Davis
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ray Davis in the 181st pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Storm Duck
They left a pile of value on the table to take Storm Duck this early at the Round 7 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
