FutureB
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a B- for the Patriots. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
Every board in the league had Rice lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 5 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the 38th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick 104, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Wilson in the 136th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A premium they did not need to pay, Marist Liufau a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Simpson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 156 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 161st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
No drama and no debate, Dwight McGlothern went about where he belonged in the 176th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick179
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
By-the-book stuff, Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 208 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick209
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at slot 209, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javontae Jean-Baptiste. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick 231 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
