New England Patriots

Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Tupuola-Fetui reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In pick 6 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Paul in No. 47 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 74
A reach on Xavier Legette in pick No. 64; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 77
Sedrick Van Pran in the 66th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 84
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the 80th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 99
They took Christian Mahogany at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 151
Dylan Laube at slot 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 156
They reached a country mile for Kitan Oladapo at Round 4, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Zion Tupuola-Fetui · DE-EDGE · rank 194
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 140, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 178
Nothing to complain about; Jha'Quan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
