FutureA+
Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a A. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Michael Penix Jr. is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.
The Wallace pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Reed has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 8th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In the 22nd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in pick No. 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They took Ja'Lynn Polk at par in pick 68, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
They let Kiran Amegadjie come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 8. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with MarShawn Lloyd worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo slid further than he should have, and No. 109 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
They read the board right and DeWayne Carter was the payoff at slot 120. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Steal is underselling it; Matt Goncalves at Round 5, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Caelen Carson
You do not let a cornerback like Caelen Carson reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Somehow Isaiah Davis was still sitting there in the 180th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at pick 185 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 187 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
The board fumbled Caedan Wallace all the way to pick No. 193, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210
Rnd6
Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 210th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225
Rnd7
Blake Watson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Austin Reed
Austin Reed at slot 231 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
