New England Patriots

The Patriots found their guy under center in Daniels: 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.

Hanson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tracy Jr.. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In slot 5 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 38
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
Zak Zinter at pick No. 103 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 108
Ray Davis in pick 110 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 118
Blake Fisher at the 119th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in the 132nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 141
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 155
Isaiah Davis in the 159th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 150
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 180th pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
A straight-up fair deal on Trente Jones at pick 193, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 188
Tahj Washington in pick No. 195 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · C.J. Hanson · OG · rank 270
A wild overpay on C.J. Hanson in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
