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

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Mayes steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 23 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in pick 35, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Keon Coleman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in Round 3, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 140th overall pick, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick181 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes at pick No. 181 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to slot 224 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
