Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A.

The Kamal Hadden selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 56 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

They banked enough surplus on DeJean to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end it comes back to Marvin Harrison Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the 66th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Circle this one: Cooper DeJean at No. 99 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamal Hadden this early at slot 180. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
