Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Patriots bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The Patriots indulged a want in Stover while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The cost of the Cephus reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 11 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A tidy bit of business in slot 34, where Amarius Mims graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in pick No. 103, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Nice patience on Jarrian Jones, who had no business lasting to the 139th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Good price on Jaylan Ford in the 182nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in Round 7, Pick 4 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Myles Jones
They barely believed it either: Myles Jones still on the board at No. 232. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
