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. The final tally is a middling C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
