FutureC
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: B. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Bo Nix is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The Bell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Rice reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 12th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick 26 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 58. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at the 139th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jaheim Bell
You do not let a tight end like Jaheim Bell reach No. 182 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Myles Jones
Myles Jones slipping to slot 224 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick232
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
Good price on J.J. Weaver in pick No. 232, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
