Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Penix Jr.: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Magee at pick No. 231 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Michael Penix Jr. is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end it comes back to Michael Penix Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 13 with a little surplus value in Michael Penix Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims is a better player than the 34th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 DJ James
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ James at pick No. 103. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 137th overall pick, where Tyrone Tracy Jr. graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in No. 180 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at pick 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Circle this one: Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
