My personal grades for the draft: Maye: A // They got their guy nothing crazy about it, great player great upside. Polk: B- // Pretty sure they said they wanted him all along, feel like they could've gotten more capital and still got him but regardless good player maybe slight reach. Wallace C // Right tackle that will need to transition to LT and taken earlier than he probably should've been. Van Pelt and the Oline coach like him so hell maybe he turns out alright. Robinson C+ // Can never go wrong with a guard, nice depth piece to take over for a injured Strange, Sow Baker A+ // Like you said insane value for a guy that should not have fell that far, has an absolute dog in him. Dial B- // Gives you that DB depth you need with a low risk high reward pick. Great man corner that could go well with the organizations knowledge. Joe Milton B- // Now our fifth QB on the roster, will probably be QB 3 with Zappe and Nathan out of there, will take over as QB 2 after Brissets departure. Physically insane and can potentially be Taysom Hill with more arm talent. Bell A // Boom or bust tight end that gives the depth we need, red zone demon and can potentially start behing Henry in 12 packages. Overall I give the draft a A-, got our guy of the future and gave him the tools to succeed. Some reaches and some great value picks but Wolf got the job done and did a great job as a GM.
Having Robinson could also help keep Strange and Bell from being burnt out in the 4th Quarter with the pats run game. Feel like I’m warming up to the decision more and more
It is certainly better than anything we have seen recently . We may not be ready to win the division yet but we will be a lot better than last year and a lot more exciting and able to look to the future with optimism. Give Wolf the GM job . He has this team back on the right track . Just hope Mayo and crew can coach these kids up .
I like the general flavour of the picks. Character guys that are willing to compete and work for a team and have good athletic traits. Really like Baker mid in the 4th. Guy had a competitiv attidude in his post draft interview and wants to proof teams missed on him Steve Smith Sr was high on his release footwork and catches aswell so cant be that bad since hes normally very critical. Think we could've getting away with better lineman but who know in the end if they work out or not. I agree on Bell. Good value great athlete undersized but Deebo Type good in Open space. Feels like a guy with a ton of upside could be a steal
Good takes. The lineman are solid. Much better than what we had in-house for the most part bare minimum. Wallace is steady as can be and the more I watch Layden the more I like him.
There aren't really any highlights worthy of being called 'highlights' from Maye. I mean, if you consider connecting with wise open receivers a highlight sure.
Thornton Douglas and Bourne are all better.we brought a guy in. I don't see how either of these receivers make the team Drop juju reagor and maybe boutte?
Maye: B boom or bust that has to boom based on draft slot and opportunity cost. Lot to work on but high potenial Polk: B- slight reach and somehat limited in upside, but a steady producer and chain-mover the Pats desperately need. Wallace: A- biggest sleeper in the draft. Slight reach but OT fell off a cliff. 100% NOT a LT, but im not a tweak and slot guys where they're good. Potential dominant right side now w/ Mike. Robinson: B- kinda got beaten up at the Senior Bowl, but his game tape is much better. Long arms, huge hands, good set, plays strong and a bit nasty. Not the greatest mover but a huge upgrade at LG. Baker: A- excellent value pick for the upside. Shify, dynamic wr with a aolid frame. Could bust but made lots of plays at UCF. Dial: C versatile db that will probably transition to free/slot safety. Jumps out the gym and plays aggressive. Not very flexible or loose-hipped and very grabby as a corner but competitive. Depth. Milton: B+ fantastic hedge against Maye. Crazy arm, needs to rework his footwork to be play "lighter" and more fluid. Quick decisions need work. Hugemongous upside. Zero risk pick. Great for wrs in practice and play vs our defense. Bell: A how did this guy last this long?? Short, i get it, but few college players are built like this dude. Unreal as a ball-carrier from a strength standpoint. FB, H-back, TE, goalline back, tush pusher...haha so many possibilities. See where he fits. Overall: B Didnt get the impact guys i was hoping for and still appeared to reach a few times and sacrifice some draft capital. That said, acquired several quality players that can reasonably be counted on to contribute, unlike recents years with total prayers and busts. Team got better, sured up the o-line, and added some weapons. Got a potential QB of the future. Still work to do in next year's draft and FA but a solid performance. LT, WR1, and CB2 next year. Go Pats.
See this is actually a good analysis! I’m losing my mind watching people write “Milton is better then Maye” clearly they didn’t watch the Vols play & just watched highlights yesterday, when you watch Regular game play (look I like Milton) but Maye is MILES ahead in every category except “arm strength” not a chance he beats him out
I know Milton said he won't be switching positions, but I could envision him becoming a Taysom Hill type of QB where they have a specific package of plays for him when they need to mix things up on offense.
Its just nice to see the Patriots act like the rest of the NFL pick talent over projects...7 of 8 players on offense..it was smart. Maybe the Pats can escape the bottom of the NFL next year.
I like how PATS went for highest risk/reward. Glad they didn't trade down, but the speculated MIN trade for 3 1sts did sound intriguing. I would have loved for us to draft MHJ (he has one of the highest chances of actually being a solid pro), but I understand that would mean another bad year and early pick next year....
The draft was decent, they addressed alot of needs. It was players i liked , & players i was in different to. I'm not gonna lie tho, part of me feels like it was still better options in each position they drafted.
I like getting Milton in 6th. When you think about it, brisset only has a one year contract. Maybe extend him one more year if maye doesn’t look ready yet. Have Milton compete with Zappe, keep the one who learns from brissett more and who shows more. And go forward with maye and Milton/Zappe for a backup.
I think Wallace is a B- or even C+ pick. He would have been available later, has a lot of questions, and will be learning a new position. Obviously excited for him because hes a Pat now but B+ seems very very strong with all the circumstances and questions surrounding the poor kid.
I wish they had drafted Cooper DeJean at the top of the 2nd round instead of trading back for Polk. That’s gonna come back to bite them. Same with Mohamed Komara- they had ample opportunities to draft him later on. That kids an absolute beast.
I gave it a B based on the Olinemen and the WRs. I felt better WR’s were available in the slots Polk and Baker were taken. Dont get me wrong, I actually like both receivers a lot, just felt better available. As far as the linemen, I felt they were more depth picks instead of looking for starting talent, though they say they feel Wallace can play LT, so we shall see. Overall, very happy with the draft. One thing I really liked, is that Wolf said the receivers were perfect fits for the offense they are going to run. That made me feel better about the picks, and that the fit is maybe more important than what I consider better receivers. That being said, BOTH receivers finished with over 1,000 yards receiving in 2023, and Polk finished 16.8 yards per catch, and Baker finished with 21.9 yards per catch, so they both add explosiveness though not necessarily speed demons. We now have 3 good young receivers in Polk, Baker and Douglas. Maybe draft a couple more next year to help Maye.
Caveat that I’m not too great at judging drafts (I loved the Mac pick). Lol. But I think this draft was better than the sum of its parts. Why? First three rounds addressed their three biggest weaknesses. Does it solve their problems? Doubtful. You’re not likely getting WR1 in the second round. Nor are you likely getting a lock down on the O-line in the third round, especially when he needs to flip sides. But, hey, what the heck do you want? You ain’t getting six first round picks. Lol. Gotta make the best of what’s out there. I think they pretty much did that. As I said, doesn’t solve all of their problems. A lot of work still to be done. But most of these players (top three rounds at least) are immediate impact players… sort of (they COULD be… Maye will likely be behind Brissett to start; lots of WR competition, so maybe, maybe not there; and maybe need some adjustment flipping sides on the O-line)… so, let’s rephrase it to say they have the talent to start at some point this season. And since they’d be coming in at positions of need, they SHOULD all be upgrades. As such, this should be a better team with all three of those guys. I realize every team probably says that after their drafts, but honestly, some teams really don’t do great at plugging in where they need it most (look at the Pennix draft). So, there’s no given that a team’s draft improves them measurably. I believe this draft from the Pats does. It did well in addressing the team’s shortcomings. Are we suddenly competitive? Probably not. Not in THIS division. But with our defense, we’ll be in most games. Most GAMES will be competitive; I just think we’ll end up on the short end way too often. Still lots of work to do. But the draft helped. It was a solid draft, IMHO.

What I’m most excited to see are players that now have a coaching staff that allows them to be themselves. Bill would have NEVER gone for an animated competitive guy like Baker. We are finally transitioning away from the “No Bs no fun no animation” type of team atmosphere. We are finally getting competitive guys that can talk the talk and walk the walk
Can yall stop bringing up fucking Edelman you are comparing him to a dude who is 6'5!!!! Milton is twice the height Edelman is... Edelman wish he was 6 feet tall
I wish they would’ve went with a better wr with the 34th like Adonai. But baker is solid and I was hoping the 193rd was tanner m or Johnny w if he converts to te Johnny would be a really good player
I'm not sure Maye was an A+... it was a matter of not over-thinking it. But a solid, obvious kind of pick (A). I had Polk in that 2nd tier of good but not great WR, if he's as good as McConkey, it's fine. If not, it will haunt them. (B) The rest I'd agree with. Shocked Bell was there at 231. Love that.
@@christinechepeleffwaybackr8225 I honestly think Maye was the best all round QB in that draft and if he can sit and learn behind Brissett for a year I believe he can live up to that A+
Very good draft with only one trade down which is nice compared to Belicheck the trade down king. Glad they stood pat on their picks and liked their selections. Should be a better season for them next year.
I think overall I'd give it an a , maye was my number 1 qb ..for his ceiling, I think he will be stud in a couple seasons. I like the 2 chippy wr picks. Need some fire on the team. Milton probably be a good back up or trade bait. Couple lineman. Excited to see how it all works out
Felt allot like BB is still in building. Lots of reaching, leaving studs on the board and picking a guard in the fourth that might not have been drafted Regardless if the the third pick hits it doesnt matter
felt nothing like bill was here. we would've traded out of 3 or taken jj, would not have drafted a wr until the 6th round, and been majority defensive players. don't kid yourself

Good draft for Patriots. Grades are a waste but get why they’re done. I like Maye, but not sure he’s a franchise type QB. Good kid. Hope it pans out. Polk is solid. I watched many of his games at UW. He’s a reliable receiver. Looks like new regime is going in right direction.
Reminds me of when the Washington football team drafted RG3 and then drafted some guy named Kirk Cousins in the middle rounds. Always have dem QB's! At worst Milton doesnt belong in this league and you wasted a late round pick...at best you have a really competent back up that other team will covet and you could one day trade him for a 2nd rounder! Wishful thinking!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Thank you. I have been thinking this since the pick and no one else is talking about it. Another example of this was the 49rs taking Purdy on a flyer the year after they traded up for Trey Lance since Lance was hurt his rookie year.
The thing that still scares me about the Patriots is the owners and their lack of interest in spending. If they aren't at least middle of the pack they're not going to be a great team. When your tickets sales are amongst the top 5 in te league your spending should also be as much if at least top-10.
We moved that pick back 3 spots and moved another pick up 27 spots. I'm thinking the Pats had a couple WR they valued pretty equally, so they were willing to slide up the next pick and just take who was there 3 picks later. Kinda smart, in theory.
Most of the picks felt like reaches to me aside from Maye. I don't know the O line guys so they might not have been, but both WRs weren't the best available. Felt like I was watching us draft N'keal Harris and passing over studs. Hope I'm wrong
I know this wasn't asked, but bleacher report gave higher grades to both Wallace and Robinson as compared to big Mike Onwenu(59). So I'm just saying if Mike got a 59 and these 2 guys were in the mid to high 60s. Good.chance they can get coached up to be good players, at least there's hope, right??
Wallace will be a solid starting lineman. I have watched him play alot over last two seasons. He is a very strong track and field guy, smart and a good citizen. He is one of the safer selections the Patriots made this season.
Milton will be great in practice this year, to give the defense a guy with a similar build to Josh Allen to practice against. Next year, Brissett is out and Bazooka Joe will be the backup.
Drake Mae seems to have a combination of several current nfl quarterbacks.. including Mahomes. I prefer the Kansas City Cheifs offensive philosophy.. " SPEED "! The Patriots wide receivers are not speed demons.. but, that is okay.
I’m a C for the draft. They drafted guys 1-2 rounds too early (and in the case of Dial he wasn’t even to be drafted). I also feel like we drafted for scheme for not the most talented or athletic player. Just not a fan of the approach at all and think meh.
Of course it was a good draft. When was the last time BB drafted this low? The answer was NEVER ! He was bringing us to the Super Bowl every other year and he was always at the end of the draft.
QBs/A...WRs/B...OLs/C-...TE/C..CB/C. One of the better drafts the Pats have had in the last 10 years. Belichick destroyed this roster..it will take time to rebuild the blunders.

I think Maye is a great pick at 3. I give that one a 10. After that, I'm not impressed by this draft. Overall, I'll give it a B, largely because of Maye. He was a no brainer, so overall, Wolf is off to a weak start, IMO.
My dad’s an electrician so that makes me an electrician…. My Dads Ron Wolfe so now I’m an NFL GM! Whatever Elliott Wolfe …. Nepotism is real in the front offices ….

Nothing crazy about it? Really. Drake will be so good in the nfl and better than Caleb I believe throughout 10 yrs. It’s massive they got him!
@@youtubeconnollyfamily i 100% agree with you. i’m saying nothing crazy about the pick the player fell to us. not a steal or anything
Was refreshing to get some weapons, Maye is going to be a stud , got all the tools , coach him up he's definitely elite potential
Polk is a B+ Verison of the wr that went 9 that’s a A
Solid B+. Best draft we have had in many years
@KingKong-he5hs Absolute nuclear bomb of a chirp. Take it easy, big dawg! lol
@KingKong-he5hs nice! exactamundo little pipsqueak
We actually picked players in the rounds they were supposed to go, instead of Belichick reaching like crazy all the time
10 plus, I'm excited to see both players in a qb&wr friendly system run by AVP. GO PATS!!!
It is certainly better than anything we have seen recently . We may not be ready to win the division yet but we will be a lot better than last year and a lot more exciting and able to look to the future with optimism. Give Wolf the GM job . He has this team back on the right track . Just hope Mayo and crew can coach these kids up .
Good job, great analysis
I like the general flavour of the picks. Character guys that are willing to compete and work for a team and have good athletic traits. Really like Baker mid in the 4th. Guy had a competitiv attidude in his post draft interview and wants to proof teams missed on him Steve Smith Sr was high on his release footwork and catches aswell so cant be that bad since hes normally very critical. Think we could've getting away with better lineman but who know in the end if they work out or not. I agree on Bell. Good value great athlete undersized but Deebo Type good in Open space. Feels like a guy with a ton of upside could be a steal
Good takes. The lineman are solid. Much better than what we had in-house for the most part bare minimum. Wallace is steady as can be and the more I watch Layden the more I like him.
@@FantasySportsZen i mean yeah with lineman its always good to have depth at least so in worse case they become depth pieces
Fantastic video. Great job of putting what was relevant, breaking it down, but not dragging it out. Throw in some highlights n you have a 10/10 video.
There aren't really any highlights worthy of being called 'highlights' from Maye. I mean, if you consider connecting with wise open receivers a highlight sure.
Love the Walker and Milton picks.
Walker?
zappe getting zapped
Ty!!! I'm glad someone else got the memo when we got a 2nd QB the which sucks but o well
@@tomp.8817everyone got the memo you aren’t special
@@mateoedwinlol, we literally have 5 qbs💀
That 2nd QB sucks
Those receivers suck at NFL level
Thornton Douglas and Bourne are all better.we brought a guy in.
I don't see how either of these receivers make the team
Drop juju reagor and maybe boutte?
Thanks for the coverage!
Maye: B
boom or bust that has to boom based on draft slot and opportunity cost. Lot to work on but high potenial
Polk: B-
slight reach and somehat limited in upside, but a steady producer and chain-mover the Pats desperately need.
Wallace: A-
biggest sleeper in the draft. Slight reach but OT fell off a cliff. 100% NOT a LT, but im not a tweak and slot guys where they're good. Potential dominant right side now w/ Mike.
Robinson: B-
kinda got beaten up at the Senior Bowl, but his game tape is much better. Long arms, huge hands, good set, plays strong and a bit nasty. Not the greatest mover but a huge upgrade at LG.
Baker: A-
excellent value pick for the upside. Shify, dynamic wr with a aolid frame. Could bust but made lots of plays at UCF.
Dial: C
versatile db that will probably transition to free/slot safety. Jumps out the gym and plays aggressive. Not very flexible or loose-hipped and very grabby as a corner but competitive. Depth.
Milton: B+
fantastic hedge against Maye. Crazy arm, needs to rework his footwork to be play "lighter" and more fluid. Quick decisions need work. Hugemongous upside. Zero risk pick. Great for wrs in practice and play vs our defense.
Bell: A
how did this guy last this long?? Short, i get it, but few college players are built like this dude. Unreal as a ball-carrier from a strength standpoint. FB, H-back, TE, goalline back, tush pusher...haha so many possibilities. See where he fits.
Overall: B
Didnt get the impact guys i was hoping for and still appeared to reach a few times and sacrifice some draft capital. That said, acquired several quality players that can reasonably be counted on to contribute, unlike recents years with total prayers and busts.
Team got better, sured up the o-line, and added some weapons. Got a potential QB of the future. Still work to do in next year's draft and FA but a solid performance. LT, WR1, and CB2 next year. Go Pats.

@brandonhilton2730 Thanks man. I put a lot of time into the draft. Nice to walk away not completely furious for a change. Go Pats.
12. Love Polk! Perfect fit with Baker. Yes, for Milton. Brisset only signed for one year.
Th3 Milton pick took me by surprise and I love it!
Using the pick you got from trading Mac jones to get another qb
Ha! Glad u pointed that out! Very insightful
joe milton has AURA
Man you are such a fucking genius did you come up with that yourself??
Noodle arm for bionic arm
3 years from now Joe Milton will be our starting QB
Milton could be TE or WR in the future while being your QB3, plus could possibly be used in some gadget/double pass plays ,
Should have with Kingsley Saumataia or Patrick Paul.
I know Milton said he won't be switching positions, but I could envision him becoming a Taysom Hill type of QB where they have a specific package of plays for him when they need to mix things up on offense.
11.1k now, good job man!
Imagine if you could get interviews with Bell and Dial
I love Joe Milton I am a vols fan and watched Jarrod mayo play linebacker live in Neyland Stadium! I also seen Joe Milton in person fire!
Bourne, Baker, Boutte, Pop, and Polk are gonna be insane (Raegor makes the team because his special teams upside and the new kick/punt return rules)
After this year get more help on offense next draft we back in contention
Its just nice to see the Patriots act like the rest of the NFL pick talent over projects...7 of 8 players on offense..it was smart. Maybe the Pats can escape the bottom of the NFL next year.
I like how PATS went for highest risk/reward. Glad they didn't trade down, but the speculated MIN trade for 3 1sts did sound intriguing.
I would have loved for us to draft MHJ (he has one of the highest chances of actually being a solid pro), but I understand that would mean another bad year and early pick next year....
i like the effort of our draft. feels like they trying to fill the holes.
The draft was decent, they addressed alot of needs. It was players i liked , & players i was in different to. I'm not gonna lie tho, part of me feels like it was still better options in each position they drafted.
I like getting Milton in 6th. When you think about it, brisset only has a one year contract. Maybe extend him one more year if maye doesn’t look ready yet. Have Milton compete with Zappe, keep the one who learns from brissett more and who shows more. And go forward with maye and Milton/Zappe for a backup.
I think Wallace is a B- or even C+ pick. He would have been available later, has a lot of questions, and will be learning a new position. Obviously excited for him because hes a Pat now but B+ seems very very strong with all the circumstances and questions surrounding the poor kid.
I wish they had drafted Cooper DeJean at the top of the 2nd round instead of trading back for Polk. That’s gonna come back to bite them.
Same with Mohamed Komara- they had ample opportunities to draft him later on. That kids an absolute beast.

Overall, very happy with the draft. One thing I really liked, is that Wolf said the receivers were perfect fits for the offense they are going to run. That made me feel better about the picks, and that the fit is maybe more important than what I consider better receivers.
That being said, BOTH receivers finished with over 1,000 yards receiving in 2023, and Polk finished 16.8 yards per catch, and Baker finished with 21.9 yards per catch, so they both add explosiveness though not necessarily speed demons.
We now have 3 good young receivers in Polk, Baker and Douglas. Maybe draft a couple more next year to help Maye.
I like ur show * perception.Keep up the good work

Michel owinu is going back to guard watch that's his strength 🎉
Jaheim Bell is gonna be a star in NE, absolute steal!
They reach on every pick but Maye and Javon. They should of gotten a 2025 2nd pick and moved to 43pick and still got Polk
Nice overall analysis! B+
We’ll see how it goes, but honestly I’m pretty excited.

We are finally transitioning away from the “No Bs no fun no animation” type of team atmosphere. We are finally getting competitive guys that can talk the talk and walk the walk
Milton could be the first qb ever to throw a ball to him self lol. Milton is the next Edelman. Qb tuned wr or TE. He’s huge
he said he's not changing positions
Can yall stop bringing up fucking Edelman you are comparing him to a dude who is 6'5!!!! Milton is twice the height Edelman is... Edelman wish he was 6 feet tall
Marcus Mariota has entered the chat
We’ll use him like taysom hill
i view him as like a taysom hill player u have set packages for him but never a true starter
I wish they would’ve went with a better wr with the 34th like Adonai. But baker is solid and I was hoping the 193rd was tanner m or Johnny w if he converts to te Johnny would be a really good player
So happy
Maye: A+
Polk: B+
Wallace: B-
Robinson: C
Baker: A+
Dial: C
Milton: A-
Bell: A+
I'm not sure Maye was an A+... it was a matter of not over-thinking it. But a solid, obvious kind of pick (A). I had Polk in that 2nd tier of good but not great WR, if he's as good as McConkey, it's fine. If not, it will haunt them. (B)
The rest I'd agree with. Shocked Bell was there at 231. Love that.
@@christinechepeleffwaybackr8225 I honestly think Maye was the best all round QB in that draft and if he can sit and learn behind Brissett for a year I believe he can live up to that A+
Polk and maybe get a 10 as a true patriots fan this is a nice thing to see let's see how this works out and we can build from hear
Very good draft with only one trade down which is nice compared to Belicheck the trade down king. Glad they stood pat on their picks and liked their selections. Should be a better season for them next year.
Maybe Joe Milton will do a position change or something in the future. If his physical abilities allow for it. Just an idea. Kinda like Taysom Hill
I think overall I'd give it an a , maye was my number 1 qb ..for his ceiling, I think he will be stud in a couple seasons. I like the 2 chippy wr picks. Need some fire on the team. Milton probably be a good back up or trade bait. Couple lineman. Excited to see how it all works out
I'll say 9 they got their needs and built some depth.Hooray!
Felt allot like BB is still in building. Lots of reaching, leaving studs on the board and picking a guard in the fourth that might not have been drafted
Regardless if the the third pick hits it doesnt matter
felt nothing like bill was here. we would've traded out of 3 or taken jj, would not have drafted a wr until the 6th round, and been majority defensive players. don't kid yourself
Yea, it would have been worse...I definitely agree a trade and more bad choices
How excited are you for Drake Maye and Ja'Lynn Polk? Scale of 1-10

9 -as polk's lack of speed bugged me.
Fire Idiot Wolf

Im more excited for Maye and Baker but I like Polk too!
10/10 excitement for maye polk
Good draft for Patriots. Grades are a waste but get why they’re done. I like Maye, but not sure he’s a franchise type QB. Good kid. Hope it pans out. Polk is solid. I watched many of his games at UW. He’s a reliable receiver. Looks like new regime is going in right direction.
Reminds me of when the Washington football team drafted RG3 and then drafted some guy named Kirk Cousins in the middle rounds. Always have dem QB's! At worst Milton doesnt belong in this league and you wasted a late round pick...at best you have a really competent back up that other team will covet and you could one day trade him for a 2nd rounder! Wishful thinking!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Thank you. I have been thinking this since the pick and no one else is talking about it. Another example of this was the 49rs taking Purdy on a flyer the year after they traded up for Trey Lance since Lance was hurt his rookie year.
The thing that still scares me about the Patriots is the owners and their lack of interest in spending. If they aren't at least middle of the pack they're not going to be a great team. When your tickets sales are amongst the top 5 in te league your spending should also be as much if at least top-10.
No more Zappe Fever been bitten by the Maye Fly
Harrison WTF :) i thought you were the man for DA BEARS
Why did we trade down a few spots? What’s the point. Was there another pick in the trade? Got details
We moved that pick back 3 spots and moved another pick up 27 spots. I'm thinking the Pats had a couple WR they valued pretty equally, so they were willing to slide up the next pick and just take who was there 3 picks later. Kinda smart, in theory.
Tyquan Thorton better step his game up this offseason
He a buss
Great draft reloaded the offense completely and hopefully get a couple of diamonds in the rough in the undrafted players
Most of the picks felt like reaches to me aside from Maye. I don't know the O line guys so they might not have been, but both WRs weren't the best available. Felt like I was watching us draft N'keal Harris and passing over studs. Hope I'm wrong
Don't know a lot about Bake, but looking at who was still available it looked like there were some better ones available
10 for May 6 for Polk Pats should have went with Adonai Mitchell
Tanner McLachlan was my favorite TE
Reminds ne of a poor mans Gronk
This the first time in a while I feel like we tried to go and get potential weapons
I know this wasn't asked, but bleacher report gave higher grades to both Wallace and Robinson as compared to big Mike Onwenu(59). So I'm just saying if Mike got a 59 and these 2 guys were in the mid to high 60s. Good.chance they can get coached up to be good players, at least there's hope, right??
Wallace will be a solid starting lineman. I have watched him play alot over last two seasons. He is a very strong track and field guy, smart and a good citizen. He is one of the safer selections the Patriots made this season.
It's more of a B/B+/B- grade we are just over grading it because we have had so many not so good one's
I was more excited when they resigned Brissett, than drafting Maye. He's trash
10/10!!!
Somebody at Chat sports is fired, we didn't pick Caleb Williams or Rome Odunze, wrong thumbnail.😂😂😂
I do not mind reach in rounds 3+ for all players except qb for qb its 2+
Now all the pats gotta do is get in the top 3 picks again and lock in for Travis hunter
We all know Travis hunter isn’t going anywhere with shedeur sanders
Im very very low of polk i think it was a HUGE reach if i could make it lower than a 1 in 1-10 i would hes a 1 year wonder mitchell is the better pick
Y’all be working fr
NOCASK gives the Maye and Polk B+
Milton will be great in practice this year, to give the defense a guy with a similar build to Josh Allen to practice against. Next year, Brissett is out and Bazooka Joe will be the backup.
Bazooka Joe 🤣
Drake Mae seems to have a combination of several current nfl quarterbacks.. including Mahomes.
I prefer the Kansas City Cheifs offensive philosophy.. " SPEED "! The Patriots wide receivers are not speed demons.. but, that is okay.
We got a lot of recruits who are good on contested, which means none of them can create space.
Lots of people, myself included, see N’keal Harry 2.0 in Slow Polk. I’m not thrilled about him.
@@jonathanocchi7044 You couldn't be more wrong.
@@jonathanocchi7044 Slow Polk 🤣Love it, I'm totally going to say this
He would be a great Tightend!!
A lot of picks coming. He doesn't see the plays opening up which means he doesn't read defenses very good and panics
I’m a C for the draft. They drafted guys 1-2 rounds too early (and in the case of Dial he wasn’t even to be drafted). I also feel like we drafted for scheme for not the most talented or athletic player. Just not a fan of the approach at all and think meh.
Of course it was a good draft.
When was the last time BB drafted this low?
The answer was NEVER !
He was bringing us to the Super Bowl every other year and he was always at the end of the draft.
Great point, great point...
I love the drake maye pick but I wound have taken McConky for WR
Now, they need to bring in Cole Burgess as an undrafted free agent.
QBs/A...WRs/B...OLs/C-...TE/C..CB/C. One of the better drafts the Pats have had in the last 10 years. Belichick destroyed this roster..it will take time to rebuild the blunders.
7. The picks look good on paper.
A good draft

This draft gets a solid A. This has been one of the best drafts we had in a while. I'm glad Belichick is out of here 😂
I would give us an A- for this draft
Ryan Mallet
Maye & Polk 8.5
I think Maye is a great pick at 3. I give that one a 10. After that, I'm not impressed by this draft. Overall, I'll give it a B, largely because of Maye. He was a no brainer, so overall, Wolf is off to a weak start, IMO.
The only complaint is trading to 37 from 34 and not getting more.
Solid draft otherwise.
Yeah, maybe they could've got more value for that, especially if they said "hey, I think you're about take our guy...", even if they weren't. idk
Bye bye Zappe. I like all their picks. Going to be an interesting year.
My dad’s an electrician so that makes me an electrician…. My Dads Ron Wolfe so now I’m an NFL GM! Whatever Elliott Wolfe …. Nepotism is real in the front offices ….
Was he not a qb in the nfl aswell?😂
@@tykynmeyer5095 Elliot Wolfe a QB in the NFL?? Yeah when he switched his PlayStation on !😂😂😂
If your going to grade grade an A+ because it’s the only choice they had at 3rd position for drake mayo
Hook yo boy up with a Maye jersey my cost of living hasnt hit yet lol😂 go pats!!
Turn ur Mac jersey into a maye jersey
@@Msb72409that’s what I did 💀
@@Msb72409 Who tf has a Mac jersey? Lol
Howed u know i had one 👀lmao
I like milton
Super excited for Drake Maye. Polk. Eh. NE doesn’t have a great history of receiver picks. Will need to see proof
I was really hoping for a pure speed guy instead of Polk, because I don't have a ton of faith we'll land a true WR1 in trade this year.
