The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Christian Jones at pick No. 114 regardless, 83 picks early. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
