FutureA
A passer of the future in Nix, and a B, for the Patriots. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They banked enough surplus on Coleman to cover a lot of smaller sins. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In No. 14 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They did well to land Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 36, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at the 46th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
D.J. James
D.J. James at pick No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
