Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Zion Logue in No. 231. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They banked enough surplus on Laumea to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Value said wait; Kingsley Suamataia in pick 34 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A conviction pick on Javon Baker at No. 68 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 103, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Nice patience on Jarrian Jones, who had no business lasting to slot 137. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sataoa Laumea
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 193 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in the 231st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
