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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

The Simpson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

However the rest shakes out, Kamara at that price is a win they earned.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback, though they paid up to get him.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 38th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the 40th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at pick 66 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 139 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A wild overpay on Jaylin Simpson in slot 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braden Fiske
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 5, where Braden Fiske graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at slot 223 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
