After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They will need Gore Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Colby where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, with Jayden Daniels leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
