Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB+
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. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Proctor.

Reaching for Nix left real value on the table behind him.

Hit on Bo Nix and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection.
Pick34 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
They let Terrion Arnold come to them and pounced at the 34th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 68 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at slot 76, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Baker
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 4, with Javon Baker worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the 136th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They paid up for Grayson Murphy at pick 146 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in pick No. 182, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A quiet steal in pick No. 229: Josh Proctor for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
