Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Tommy Mellott in the 238th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Campbell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 4 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reach on Trey Amos in the 38th pick; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 David Bailey
They talked themselves into David Bailey at the 77th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 104 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in No. 220 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
