FutureA+
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a C- weekend for the Patriots. 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. It lands right in the middle: a C-, no more, no less.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will need Jean-Baptiste to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.
So much rides on Drake Maye that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 7 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
By-the-book stuff, Adonai Mitchell at pick 34 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in No. 42, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at slot 58, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A reach for Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 110th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They went early on Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 139, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in No. 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick177
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
No drama and no debate, Tip Reiman went about where he belonged in the 177th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They paid up for Myles Cole at slot 180 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A real head-scratcher, Javontae Jean-Baptiste in Round 6, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
No edge and no loss on JD Bertrand in pick 215; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
