Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent slot 104 on Taulia Tagovailoa, a name the board had a full 129 spots lower.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
