Overall

FutureA
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a A-, for the Patriots. The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
They will need Barrett to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 15 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in slot 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 43 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A tidy little value on Tyler Nubin in the 47th overall pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 21. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A real head-scratcher, Brenden Rice in pick 68 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They jumped the gun on Javon Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
A wild overpay on Dylan Laube in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 180 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Value said wait; Michael Barrett in No. 191 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick193
Rnd6
Kendall Milton
The board had cheaper options than Kendall Milton at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sheridan Jones at slot 231 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
