Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Vaki pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Nix has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 14 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A reach on Devontez Walker in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the 103rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 10: Caelen Carson for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in No. 180. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sione Vaki in pick No. 193. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
A clean, defensible pick in the 231st overall pick with a little surplus value in Jaden Shirden. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
