Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Patriots left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.
That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every board in the league had Pregnon lower, and that gap is the story.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 31st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They read the board right and Jake Slaughter was the payoff at pick No. 63. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
