The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If Sinnott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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