Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a C. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.
Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Abrams-Draine pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman still on the board.
So much rides on Drake Maye that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In No. 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 18th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in slot 64; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A tidy little value on Javon Bullard in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at Round 3, Pick 6 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104
Rnd4
Payton Wilson
They barely believed it either: Payton Wilson still on the board at the 104th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman to take Kris Abrams-Draine, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick182
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader slid further than he should have, and pick No. 182 is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Williams in the 210th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
