Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tommi Hill, 31 picks early at pick No. 98. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Brooks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Will Campbell
No drama and no debate, Will Campbell went about where he belonged in pick 2. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at the 34th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in Round 3, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A real head-scratcher, Tommi Hill in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick130 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Value with a capital V on Tahj Brooks in No. 130, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
A premium they did not need to pay, Noah Thomas a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
