The Patriots let Burke fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Denzel Burke got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
They will need Shand to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Adding Davante Adams by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 66 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
They liked Raheim Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 98. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd5
Collin Oliver
A conviction pick on Collin Oliver at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick194
Rnd7
Paris Shand
Paris Shand at the 194th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
