They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If McCaffrey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
