Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
The Patriots found their guy under center in Nix: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 19 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Corley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They liked Michael Hall Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 80. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at the 104th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
They let Mike Sainristil come to them and pounced at the 170th overall pick. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They paid up for Jaylan Ford at pick No. 181 when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick224 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A reasonable price with a little left over, Will Sheppard in the 224th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
