Start where it matters. The Patriots took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In pick No. 7 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ladd McConkey. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
Amarius Mims at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
A tidy little value on Brenden Rice in No. 103, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Anthony Gould in the 137th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 192
Delmar Glaze at the 180th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 168
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 18 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
They did well to land Garret Greenfield in pick No. 221, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
A reasonable price with a little left over, Frank Gore Jr. in No. 231. It fills a real need, too.
