Drew179 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots

The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A. When a board-topper like Isaiah Davis slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.
Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Michael Penix Jr. and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Joe Alt
Joe Alt in slot 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick13
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 13 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 18th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In slot 23 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They barely believed it either: Olumuyiwa Fashanu still on the board at the 34th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in Round 4, Pick 18 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd5
Will Shipley
Will Shipley at No. 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick 141 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153
Rnd5
Erick All
Somehow Erick All was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 180 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
They will replay Jordan Magee at slot 222 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231
Rnd7
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
