They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the 4th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
Keon Coleman is a better player than pick 34 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
They took Tyler Guyton at par in slot 35, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in pick No. 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 72
Blake Corum in the 76th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Payton Wilson in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in Round 4, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 141
Jaheim Bell at No. 136 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
A reach on Ben Sinnott in the 137th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 146
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
JD Bertrand in pick No. 229 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
