Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots bet the future on Nix. The board says B.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 15th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 21 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They liked Xavier Legette enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Fair-plus on Javon Bullard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They read the board right and Kamal Hadden was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 3. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
