Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Hunter from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Lee Hunter, the No. 49 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 14. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Rolder proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 15 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and D'Angelo Ponds at the 63rd pick is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at slot 78 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A slide stopped in the 95th overall pick, with Kamari Ramsey worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Kobi Lane at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They read the board right and Michael Trigg was the payoff at pick 126. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Harold Perkins Jr.. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Travis Burke
Travis Burke in No. 171 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Caleb Douglas
Circle this one: Caleb Douglas at No. 191 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They did well to land Jeff Caldwell in pick 198, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in the 202nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 212th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller in Round 7, Pick 31 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
