A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B, for the Patriots.

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. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They banked enough surplus on McGlothern to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The cost of the Legette reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In pick No. 8 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 9
They barely believed it either: Olumuyiwa Fashanu still on the board at No. 34. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at the 50th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 73
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 19 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 71
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Lynn Polk well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 22
Somehow Chop Robinson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 97
They went early on Christian Mahogany in slot 84, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 131
Ben Sinnott at pick 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 104
Ray Davis in No. 136 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 155
A safety of that caliber at the 182nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 174
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 229 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
