Nix is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a 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.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Bo Nix and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick No. 19 they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They read the board right and Tyler Guyton was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick52
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at pick 52 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cade Stover
No edge and no loss on Cade Stover in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
They did well to land Jalen McMillan in slot 103, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A tidy bit of business in the 106th overall pick, where Bucky Irving graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 137th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick180
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at Round 6, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
