FutureB
The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says C-. 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.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Braswell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Franklin in No. 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in the 47th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick 68 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They went early on Dallin Holker in slot 136, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
