A franchise passer in Maye headlines a B- weekend for the Patriots. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
If Hartman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Harden at that price is a win they earned.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In the 5th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 1, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in slot 34. It fills a real need, too.
Pick61
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Good price on Payton Wilson in pick 61, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
They took Devontez Walker at par in pick No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A clean, defensible pick in the 69th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kiran Amegadjie. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in No. 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick180
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in pick 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 30: Tahj Washington for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Myles Harden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Myles Harden in the 231st pick, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
