The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Latham pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JC Latham at the 34th overall pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in the 81st pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Darius Robinson at Round 4, Pick 4 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 136 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in No. 182. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
