After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.
The Davis pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Daniels at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
The board fumbled Nate Wiggins all the way to slot 34, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They took Tyler Guyton at par in the 37th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Brenden Rice in No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 4, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Jaheim Bell in the 136th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
They will replay Renardo Green at pick No. 182 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Isaiah Davis at pick 229 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
