Brop9404 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B for the Patriots. Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Morgan reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In No. 3 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A conviction pick on Jordan Morgan at the 35th pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
A tidy little value on Cooper DeJean in Round 3, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at the 67th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at slot 94, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tyleik Williams
They barely believed it either: Tyleik Williams still on the board at pick No. 139. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jamari Thrash at Round 6, Pick 5 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 209 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Steve Linton
Fair-plus on Steve Linton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
