Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Nix: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jared Wiley in No. 224, a good 204 spots before the room expected him.

Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at pick 35, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
They reached into another round for Nehemiah Pritchett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 140th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at slot 181. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at the 224th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
