The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Sweat steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 18
In pick 15 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 28
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 29
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 42. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 50
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 54
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in the 67th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 94
Christian Haynes at the 103rd pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 113
They took Troy Fautanu at par in slot 115, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 143
Luke Lachey at No. 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 185
Value with a capital V on Jacob Cowing in pick No. 193, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 218
They paid sticker price for Jawhar Jordan in the 220th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
