Can't say I agree with your assessment of the Patriots' draft. Even if you deduct points for a reach on Wilson, that doesn't devalue it to a B-, IMO.
Fair enough. I'm sure the vast majority will agree with you, as well.
I believe I look at it differently than most.
I get the idea that most look at the overall haul, and grade it ~ more or less ~ compared to the rest of the league, without giving weight to the value of the Picks we began with.
What I do, is look at the Picks relative to where we picked them.
I don't give extra points for having extra Picks, which I think most other folks do, unconsciously.
On the other hand, I would've given HUGE extra points, last year, for acquiring the extra 1st Rounder, THIS year.

So I look at HighTower and Jones as excellent Prospects, but I also think that you SHOULD get excellent Prospects in the 20's.
Most folks ~ I'm not including you ~ will look at that ~ add an heavy helping of Pats Fever and a pound of In Bill We Trust ~ and declare it the Best Draft Ever!!
But the only OUTSTANDING Picks I saw were Bequette and Dennard, balanced against that Wilson move.
Thus: B-.
Just one man's opinion.
