Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent the 243rd pick on Kedon Slovis, a name most had 71 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Turner. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 7th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at No. 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 6 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo is a better player than pick 127 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylin Simpson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 168th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Fair-plus on Dwight McGlothern, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: LaDarius Henderson in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 229th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
They reached into another round for Kedon Slovis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
