The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The Barrett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
Jordan Morgan at pick 34 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They will replay Bralen Trice at the 68th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
Roman Wilson at the 90th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
They took DeWayne Carter at par in No. 103, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
They did well to land Will Shipley in slot 139, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.10 · Pick 146 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
They read the board right and Cam Hart was the payoff at pick No. 146. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 193
A conviction pick on AJ Barner at No. 182 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
They went early on Christian Jones in slot 188, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 198
Isaiah Williams in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 183
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Michael Barrett in the 225th pick, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 213
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
