Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

There is reaching, and then there is Anto Saka at Round 3, Pick 30. The Patriots jumped the board by 21 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
A reach for Caleb Lomu in the Round 1 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 62 with a little surplus value in Germie Bernard. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anto Saka
A wild overpay on Anto Saka in the 94th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
