Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Amari Cooper deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, with Jonah Savaiinaea leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick 17 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in slot 34 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They jumped the gun on Tate Ratledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in the 66th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at Round 3, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks is a better player than pick No. 130 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd7 John Campbell Jr.
A conviction pick on John Campbell Jr. at No. 194 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
