They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hadden.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, safety and other spots.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan at the 40th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 103
No edge and no loss on DeWayne Carter in pick 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 113
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, safety and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 126
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 141
Ainias Smith in the 141st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 170
Value with a capital V on Javion Cohen in slot 179, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 186
Cornelius Johnson in No. 180 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 169
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at pick 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
They read the board right and Jordan Magee was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
