Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a A. Start where it matters. The Patriots took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is McClellan.
Bottom line, with Michael Penix Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 9 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
They read the board right and Troy Franklin was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at Round 3, Pick 11 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Javon Baker
A clean, defensible pick in slot 182 with a little surplus value in Javon Baker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Value with a capital V on Jase McClellan in the 224th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
