New England Patriots

Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B+ for the Patriots.

Future B-

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Bullock value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 10
In No. 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
They took Jordan Morgan at par in pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 53
They barely believed it either: Chris Braswell still on the board at the 71st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 74
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 98
Caelen Carson at the 103rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 101
Mekhi Wingo at slot 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 88
They will replay Calen Bullock at pick No. 138 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 188
Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 203
They liked Blake Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 193. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 219
Good price on KT Leveston in pick 226, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 235
Eyabi Okie-Anoma in slot 231 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
