Future 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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Pritchett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
They took Drake Maye at par in the 3rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
Nothing to complain about; Adonai Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
No edge and no loss on Kiran Amegadjie in slot 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 99
Jalen McMillan in Round 4, Pick 3 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 103
Taking Audric Estime in No. 137 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 160
They barely believed it either: Jared Wiley still on the board at pick 180. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 143
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 182nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 159
They robbed the room for Tykee Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 184
Jordan Jefferson at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield in slot 221 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
Ryan Flournoy at pick 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 249
Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 256 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 257
Darius Muasau in pick No. 257 is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
