FutureB
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: C-. 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.
If Hartman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
The Rosemy-Jacksaint value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick 27 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 48th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 66th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They did well to land Christian Haynes in pick No. 68, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 71, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Nothing to complain about; Trey Benson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
The board had Jonah Elliss higher than No. 98, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in slot 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 111 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in the 112th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
A conviction pick on Dallin Holker at pick 134 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Fair-plus on Beau Brade, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They went early on Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
A reach on Nelson Ceaser in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick No. 172 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
A slide stopped in the 180th pick, with Kamal Hadden worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at slot 185 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They took Jaylen Harrell at par in the 200th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 218 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in pick 219 with a little surplus value in Caedan Wallace. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in slot 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They liked Michael Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in the 226th pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Myles Harden at pick No. 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick243
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dominique Hampton at No. 243 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 26. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick256
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jennings at the 256th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
