Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA
Nix is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

If Holker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hicks.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Bo Nix
They liked Bo Nix enough to skip the value, taking him in the 20th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good price on Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A slide stopped in slot 51, with Kamari Lassiter worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than Round 3, Pick 4 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nice patience on Jaden Hicks, who had no business lasting to No. 84. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
They reached a country mile for Dallin Holker at pick No. 102, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A quiet steal in pick 136: Cedric Gray for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They took Jha'Quan Jackson at par in the 179th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at No. 231 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
