The New England Patriots may have landed their next franchise quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft, selecting Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick, but executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf seemed to admit that the rest of the draft was not as fruitful during an event for season ticket holders Sunday.

Maye looked incredibly promising in 12 starts last fall. The other quarterback that the Patriots drafted—big-armed sixth-rounder Joe Milton—also has potential. The other picks struggled: pass-catchers Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker and Jaheim Bell combined for 15 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns, offensive linemen Caedan Wallace and Layden Robinson eached finished with poor Pro Football Focus grades in the 40s and the lone defensive player, cornerback Marcellas Dial, finished with 12 tackles and a forced fumble.
