Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Nix headlines a B- weekend for the Patriots.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

If Cypress II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the 3rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They paid sticker price for Keon Coleman in pick 35, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A reach on Amarius Mims in No. 67; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
They liked Devontez Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 140. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Gerald Mincey
Gerald Mincey in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in pick No. 224 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
