Instead, they stood pat at No. 3 overall, stuck to their guns, and drafted their quarterback of the future in Drake Maye.<\/p>\n<p>Maye (6-foot-4, 223 pounds) has a strong, live arm and his athleticism matched with a knack as a playmaker will be, if anything, an exciting player for Pats Nation to lean on.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 2, Pick No. 37: WR Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk, Washington<\/h3>\n<p>After trading down from No. 34 (while moving up 27 spots from 137 to 110 in R5), the Patriots took Washington&#8217;s Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk with the 37th overall selection.<\/p>\n<p>One of two players to go for over 1,000 receiving yards with the Huskies last season, Polk was actually coached by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mikekadlick\/status\/1784003487044444584\">now-Patriots wide receivers coach Tyler Hughes<\/a> last season, where he was an offensive quality control coach. Patriots director of college scouting Camren Williams mentioned that Hughes&#8217; familiarity with the player gave them comfortability in selecting him.<\/p>\n<p>Polk has the versatility to play both inside and outside in an offensive scheme, and brings elite skills as well as a willingness to block to the table. I really like the pick.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 3, Pick No. 68: OT Caelan Wallace, Penn State<\/h3>\n<p>New England\u2019s first &#8220;reach&#8221; of the weekend was for Penn State <em>right<\/em> tackle Caelan Wallace.<\/p>\n<p>The selection originally had people wondering what New England&#8217;s plan on the right side of the offensive line would be, given that they just signed Mike Onwenu to a three-year, $57 million contract extension and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1769731373286240549?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1769731373286240549%7Ctwgr%5E6bf26771f5e823f8ae3ff9defafcf2c418e16db8%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.audacy.com%2Fweei%2Fsports%2Fpatriots%2Fat-long-last-patriots-have-a-plan-in-place-for-mike-onwenu\">Ian Rapoport reported that<\/a>, \u201che\u2019s expected to be [their] right tackle moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But with some clarity from both Eliot Wolf and Wallace himself that they&#8217;re comfortable with him playing\u00a0<em>left<\/em> tackle, a position where New England currently only has Chukwuma Okorafor and Conor McDermott at, the pick makes sense for a team that&#8217;s struggled with offensive line consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 4, Pick No. 103: OG Layden Robinson, Texas A&amp;M<\/h3>\n<p>For a second pick in a row, the Patriots selected an offensive lineman in Texas A&amp;M&#8217;s Layden Robinson.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson projects strictly a guard at the next level, which adds some cloudiness to the offensive line room as a whole. New England drafted Jake Andrews, Sidy Sow, and Atonio Mafi (all interior players) just last season, and also has former first-round pick Cole Strange to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>My read? Strange&#8217;s time with the Patriots is precious given his injury history. Perhaps he&#8217;s not a lock for a roster spot.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 4, Pick No. 110: WR Javon Baker, UCF<\/h3>\n<p>After adding Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk in Round 2, New England lucked out a double dip at the wide receiver position with UCF&#8217;s Javon Baker being available at pick No. 110.<\/p>\n<p>A projected third-rounder, Baker&#8217;s 6-foot-1, 208-pound frame translates perfectly to what the Patriots are lacking in the true X-receiver position. He has true WR1 upside.<\/p>\n<p>He joins a room with Polk, Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas,\u00a0 K.J. Osborn, Jalen Reagor, Tyquan Thornton, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Some trimming will have to be done.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 6, Pick No. 180: CB Marcellas Dial, South Carolina<\/h3>\n<p>The Patriots&#8217; only defensive player drafted in 2024, South Carolina&#8217;s Marcellas Dial adds some versatility to their secondary.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s a disciplined cornerback with just 10 total penalties in his college career (h\/t Alex Barth), and according to some reports may have the ability to transition to free safety in the pro&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Given New England&#8217;s lack of corner and FS depth, the pick makes sense.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 6, Pick No. 193: QB Joe Milton III, Tennessee<\/h3>\n<p>Bazooka Joe!<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots make history with the selection of Tennessee&#8217;s Joe Milton III, by becoming just the fifth team in NFL history to draft two quarterbacks in the same class. Milton (6-foot-5, 235 lbs) has a <em>cannon\u00a0<\/em>of an arm but is incredibly inconsistent as a passer.<\/p>\n<p>The Athletic&#8217;s Dane Brugler reported in <em>The Beast<\/em> that, &#8220;some teams believe he will eventually transition to tight end in the NFL (similar path as Logan Thomas).&#8221; Milton, however, shut this down on Saturday saying that it will &#8220;never happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s a fun project worth a flier in the sixth round.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 7, Pick No. 231: TE Jaheim Bell, Florida State<\/h3>\n<p>Closing out the class with yet another offensive weapon, the Patriots selected Florida State tight end Jaheim Bell.<\/p>\n<p>New England had plenty of interest in Bell during the pre-draft process, including a 30-visit to Foxborough. He\u2019s a developmental tight end for a team that needs one behind Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mikekadlick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong><em> Mike on Twitter @mikekadlick<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>\u00a0for the latest up-to-date Patriots and Boston sports news!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 NFL Draft has officially come to a close and the Patriots officially have their rookie class.
