Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-. For all the boxes ticked, the Patriots skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Burden III steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In slot 4 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
A quiet steal in pick 38: Luther Burden III for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
