FutureA
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B. When a board-topper like Keon Coleman slides to No. 95, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. Reaching for Paul left real value on the table behind him.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Lynn Polk. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A reach for Xavier Legette in pick 66; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach pick No. 80 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
They will replay Keon Coleman at the 95th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick116
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Steal is underselling it; Bucky Irving at slot 116 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136
Rnd4
Kitan Oladapo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kitan Oladapo. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
They barely believed it either: Dylan Laube still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malik Mustapha in No. 185, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
