Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-

Grand theft in the 130th pick: the Patriots steal Gillotte and grade out a A-.

Call it larceny. Ashton Gillotte sat on the board until slot 130, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Malaki Starks, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 30th pick they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at Round 4, Pick 1. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A slide stopped in pick No. 98, with Sonny Styles worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Taking Ashton Gillotte in pick 130 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
