The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The final tally is a middling C+.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 3rd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in pick No. 34, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the 68th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
