Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a 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.
Reaching for Turner III left real value on the table behind him. McCaffrey falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 9 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Malik Washington
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 5, where Malik Washington graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
A tidy little value on Blake Fisher in slot 122, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson is a better player than pick No. 137 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
They will replay Luke McCaffrey at the 180th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in pick 193 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Frank Gore Jr. in the 231st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Charles Turner III
A wild overpay on Charles Turner III in No. 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
