Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a C.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Andrew Mukuba at slot 109, roughly 44 spots before his name belonged. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Somehow Will Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 34, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 45th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 2 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oscar Delp at No. 98. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Mukuba in slot 109, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 130 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 194 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
