The Patriots got a dynamite prospect in Drake Maye. Maye did a ton of heavy lifting for the Tar Heels last season and is a player with legitimate superstar upside. He's just 21 years old and has already shown flashes of elite downfield, tight-window accuracy to go along with fantastic running ability for a bigger quarterback. Home run pick for the Patriots as they officially start a new era for the franchise.

Expert Commentary
The Patriots are giving Drake Maye a rookie wide receiver to run with next year. The Patriots needed to add receiver talent to their roster in the draft and found a tough player to help in the slot for their offense. Polk might not be a burner, but he should be a strong option over the middle of the field for the Patriots.

Solid pick up for the Patriots, who can have a long-term right tackle to protect Drake Maye. Wallace might not be ready to play right away, but he really does have the movement skills and talent to be a starting tackle down the road.
