Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: A-.

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.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mustapha. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Jackson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

In the end it comes back to Bo Nix, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 25th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at slot 41. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 43 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 58 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kalen King
Steal is underselling it; Kalen King at Round 3, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
They liked Jacob Cowing enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in the 103rd pick: Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalyx Hunt at S-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
They will replay Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick182 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 182nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Somehow Jordan Magee was still sitting there in pick No. 224, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A clean, defensible pick in the 232nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Daequan Hardy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
