The Patriots found their guy under center in Daniels: B-. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Coleman.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In slot 9 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 21st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They did well to land Tyler Guyton in pick 34, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at the 73rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in pick No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the 108th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick No. 139 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 161 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
No drama and no debate, Dwight McGlothern went about where he belonged in the 176th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick179
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 179 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They paid sticker price for JD Bertrand in Round 6, Pick 29, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A conviction pick on Trey Knox at pick 226 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at pick No. 231. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at No. 236 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
