Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

Somebody took the Patriots to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. If Sturdivant pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lachey.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 3 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 3 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 99 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick No. 133 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A conviction pick on Keaten Wade at the 195th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
