New England Patriots

The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: B-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
Drake Maye in slot 11 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 33 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
Darius Robinson at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
They paid a round early for Xavier Worthy in pick No. 39, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
They jumped the gun on Dominick Puni, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
They reached into another round for Johnny Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in the 122nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
Nice patience on Isaac Guerendo, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 193
A reach on Delmar Glaze in pick 180; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 209
A conviction pick on Jaylen Harrell at slot 193 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 228
Fair-plus on Nathan Thomas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Evan Williams · S · rank 215
A quiet steal in the 232nd pick: Evan Williams for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
