New England Patriots

The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

On value alone, Taylor-Demerson makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the 6th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 26
Kamari Lassiter is a better player than Round 2, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
Tyler Guyton in the 37th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 44
Keon Coleman at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 61
Nice patience on Jonathon Brooks, who had no business lasting to No. 69. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
By-the-book stuff, Marshawn Kneeland at slot 104 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
Ben Sinnott at pick 136 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 143
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 134
Will Shipley at the 140th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 182 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 220
Omar Speights slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 9 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
