Future A+

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.

Landing Milton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 35
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
Patrick Paul at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 74
Xavier Legette in the 68th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 71
Ja'Lynn Polk at slot 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 109
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick 102, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 94
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · James Williams · S · rank 120
They let James Williams come to them and pounced at pick No. 136. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 128
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Wilson in the 145th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to pick No. 179. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 190
Kendall Milton in No. 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
