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. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They will need James to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
