Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. However the rest shakes out, McKinstry at that price is a win they earned.

Nesbit has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If Bo Nix and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to slot 34, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 10, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at pick No. 68. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 139th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryson Nesbit. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the 224th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
