Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Bud Clark at pick 131 regardless, 77 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Cameron steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
A wild overpay on Derrick Moore in Round 2, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 95th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They reached a country mile for Kyle Louis at the 125th pick, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bud Clark this early at pick 131. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in No. 169 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They paid sticker price for Oscar Delp in slot 189, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley in pick 200 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
A straight-up fair deal on Kaelon Black at pick No. 207, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 210th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Fa'alili Fa'amoe in slot 247. It fills a real need, too.
