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 edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
No edge and no loss on Jayden Daniels in the 5th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
