They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Rosengarten proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 68 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Goncalves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A reach for Roger Rosengarten in the 136th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Fair-plus on Jha'Quan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No edge and no loss on KT Leveston in the 229th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
