The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B to match. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The cost of the Gore Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Pearsall steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 5 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in Round 2, Pick 5 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They did well to land Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 54, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in the 67th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
A tidy little value on Roman Wilson in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 137 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They took Jordan Travis at par in the 140th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
No edge and no loss on Nehemiah Pritchett in pick 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick147
Rnd5
Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick153
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Mustapha in Round 5, Pick 17. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
They let Darius Muasau come to them and pounced at No. 234. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick237
Rnd7
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 237th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
