New England Patriots

Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B+.

Future A

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.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Foster proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In No. 7 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 38
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 2, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
Troy Franklin in the 39th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson at the 101st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 120
They jumped the gun on Javon Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 130
A clean, defensible pick in slot 137 with a little surplus value in Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
