Instant analysis of all eight draft picks for the . We can debate whether or not they took the right players, but the Pats addressed their biggest needs.

Plus, let's face it: If Drake Maye hits his ceiling, this draft will be a huge success.

Here are the two things that stand out from Jaheim Bell on tape. Seam runs and YAC on passes in the flats. Great play speed for the new tight end. Jonnu-lite isn't a bad comp.

With their last pick, the select TE Jaheim Bell from Florida State. Another hit for the big board. Bell was the last player in my top 50.

Wasn't crazy about him early on day three, which is where some of the projections had him. But this is great value.

With the 193rd pick in the draft, the select...QB Joe Milton. Bazooka Joe. I wrote about Milton's week at the Senior Bowl when I was down in Mobile.

We'll be throwing a party for Alex Barth on Catch-22 next week.

Heard some good things about Dial's week at the Shrine Bowl this year. He has also played some safety and slot. Feels similar to Ameer Speed and Isaiah Bolden last year.

The make their first defensive selection in the draft: South Carolina CB Marcellas Dial. Dial is a developmental man coverage corner. Has the size (5-11, 190) and speed (4.46) to play on the outside.

Solid value for the Patriots with both Caedan Wallace (athletic ability, movement skills) and Layden Robinson (size, length, power) in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

The foundation for Baker: stack and track over the shoulder, high points, and intermediate route breaks off vertical stems. Good football player.

The select UCF WR Javon Baker with the 110th pick in the draft. Baker is another hit for the big board.

True X receiver with great ball tracking skills and some silky smooth route breaks. Love, love, love this pick.

The select Texas A&M guard Layden Robinson. Wide-body, powerful interior O-Line prospect who has mostly played right guard for the Aggies.

New England took three IOL on day three last year. Add another one to Cole Strange, Sidy Sow, Jake Andrews, and Atonio Mafi.
