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.

The Gore Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The McConkey steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
In pick 3 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 20
Circle this one: Nate Wiggins at the 38th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
They robbed the room for Ladd McConkey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
A tidy bit of business in No. 106, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braelon Allen in slot 115. The roster fit checks out.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
R5.13 · Pick 149 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
A quiet steal in the 149th pick: Jarrian Jones for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 166
The board had Jaheim Bell higher than the Round 6 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Grayson Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 177
Grayson Murphy at pick 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 229
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in slot 193 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 208
Tanner McLachlan in the 214th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 217
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Garret Greenfield at Round 7, Pick 7. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 221
JD Bertrand slid further than he should have, and pick No. 231 is lovely value for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
