The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chop Robinson, the No. 22 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 20. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In slot 22 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
A quarterback of that caliber at the 34th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 3: Quinyon Mitchell for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
They robbed the room for Graham Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 43
Keon Coleman at the 103rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 22
Taking Chop Robinson in No. 120 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
They will replay Jonah Elliss at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
You do not let a safety like Dadrion Taylor-Demerson reach the 137th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
Circle this one: Braelon Allen at pick 162 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Jones at slot 180 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Anthony Gould at pick 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Somehow Curtis Jacobs was still sitting there in the 231st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
