FutureD
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with 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.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Tupuola-Fetui left real value on the table behind him.
Getting Polk where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
A straight-up fair deal on Drake Maye at No. 3, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick34
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 2. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at slot 68 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk slipping to pick No. 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A conviction pick on Kitan Oladapo at the 137th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 193rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231
Rnd7
KT Leveston
They paid a round early for KT Leveston in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
