Rob DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Tahj Brooks, 45 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
They banked enough surplus on Mukuba to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
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
In slot 2 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
A slide stopped in the 34th overall pick, with Abdul Carter worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 66th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
They reached into another round for Aireontae Ersery, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd5
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick No. 130 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194
Rnd7
Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in No. 194, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
