Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

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. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. On value alone, Jenkins makes the weekend a net positive.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 27th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Morgan in pick No. 34. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The board had Mike Sainristil higher than Round 3, Pick 33, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They barely believed it either: Roman Wilson still on the board at the 103rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cedric Gray in pick 139. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in slot 182 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in No. 211 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
By-the-book stuff, J.J. Weaver at the 224th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Keegan. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
