Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: A-.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The Newton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, with Bo Nix leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 25 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in pick 68, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick No. 103 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 139th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
You do not let a running back like Braelon Allen reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They read the board right and Jawhar Jordan was the payoff at the 224th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A tidy little value on Daequan Hardy in pick No. 232, a step better than break-even. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
