Pat DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

FutureB-
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
If Neyor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in pick No. 34. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Jonathon Brooks at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malik Washington
They reached into another round for Malik Washington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor at the 182nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Erick All
Erick All at slot 224 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
