Overall

FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B+ for the Patriots. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
Getting McCaffrey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Amegadjie pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 9 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Keon Coleman at pick No. 34, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
A reach on Kiran Amegadjie in pick 47; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter slid further than he should have, and No. 68 is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 3 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd5
Bucky Irving
A clean, defensible pick in the 137th overall pick with a little surplus value in Bucky Irving. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They paid a round early for Layden Robinson in the 193rd pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in slot 231 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
