Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The war room fell hard for Kamal Hadden, and it showed at No. 139: 97 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 32nd overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 34th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Corley at slot 66 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They liked Audric Estime enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 102. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A real head-scratcher, Kamal Hadden in No. 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 6, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 244th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
