The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
The Rosemy-Jacksaint pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 7 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Taliese Fuaga in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Legette in pick No. 50, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khyree Jackson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Ben Sinnott at No. 102 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kitan Oladapo this early at Round 4, Pick 36. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A reach for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 179; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 231st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
