Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a B- for the Patriots.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them.

They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at Round 2, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at pick No. 68 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at defensive back with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A slide stopped in the 141st pick, with Cole Bishop worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
