Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: C+.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Adams at that price is a win they earned.

The cost of the Cephus reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 24 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Franklin at No. 34. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in slot 36, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick No. 40 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They liked Christian Haynes enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 4. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the 124th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Isaiah Adams worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They went early on Joshua Cephus in the 224th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A tidy little value on Taulia Tagovailoa in slot 232, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
