FutureC
The Patriots bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They are betting Barrett proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 22 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A reach for Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 50; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 20. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at the 53rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A conviction pick on Christian Mahogany at the 83rd pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
Javon Foster
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javon Foster well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in No. 103, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
A big swing on Jared Wiley at pick 137, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
They will replay Elijah Jones at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalyx Hunt. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Trente Jones
They went early on Trente Jones in pick No. 180, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy little value on Frank Gore Jr. in slot 231, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
