The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That Corum pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every board in the league had Bell lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
