FutureC
Nix is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: 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.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That Ulofoshio pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and tight end. Reaching for Tupuola-Fetui left real value on the table behind him.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 13th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In slot 25 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In pick No. 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A big swing on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 34th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Lynn Polk went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and tight end sat open.
Pick129
Rnd4
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at slot 129 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in Round 5, Pick 3, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They will replay Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick224
Rnd7
Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in pick 224 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
