FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a C- to match. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A mixed bag that lands at C-.
Every board in the league had Logue lower, and that gap is the story. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
The Harden pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In slot 27 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They paid sticker price for Cade Stover in the 71st overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 90 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
The board had cheaper options than Leonard Taylor III at the 103rd pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at slot 120 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 129, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade is a better player than the 137th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick157
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Luke McCaffrey graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
They reached into another round for Jase McClellan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 180th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 193 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231
Rnd7
Myles Harden
The board fumbled Myles Harden all the way to Round 7, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick232
Rnd7
Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at the 232nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
