Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Clark should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let De'Corian Clark slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 224. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They read the board right and Bo Nix was the payoff at slot 34. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in No. 68. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at the 139th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They took Aki Ogunbiyi at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Somehow De'Corian Clark was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 4, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
