FutureA-
The Patriots bet the future on Daniels. The board says A-. The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 22nd overall pick they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick23
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
Nothing to complain about; Taliese Fuaga went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Terrion Arnold at cornerback with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
A tidy bit of business in No. 48, where Adonai Mitchell graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 50th pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Circle this one: Javon Bullard at pick No. 79 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Taking Beau Brade in the 172nd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan
The board fumbled Tanner McLachlan all the way to the 246th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
