Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, with Bo Nix leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 19 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at pick 34. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A quiet steal in pick No. 51: Byron Murphy II for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at Round 3, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Fisher in the 103rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
Value with a capital V on Johnny Dixon in the 139th overall pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 182 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick224 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at the 224th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
