Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Caden Curry at the Round 2 slot regardless, 58 picks early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
KC Concepcion
In pick 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the 63rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
