FutureA+
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: B. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing Watson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick 6 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 56th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in slot 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in the 87th pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Goncalves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Simpson went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 1. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A wild overpay on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to No. 167 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at slot 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at the 193rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Circle this one: Nathaniel Watson at No. 231 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
