2020 NFL draft grades: Evaluating the Patriots’ performance in the 4th-7th rounds

As they usually are on Day 3, the Patriots were highly active in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds of the NFL Draft on the day of the week when most of us define “highly active” as “what do we have in the fridge for whatever meal this is, anyway?”. The team made 5 total selections over the 4 rounds on Saturday, including the kicker position that’s been filled at a legendary level by two (2) men alone since 1995 until last season.

After double-dipping at tight end on Day 2 just like everyone thought they would in last year’s draft, on Day 3 the team went for a triple-dip in the offensive trenches and also snagged the opposite Wyoming linebacker that everyone thought they would.
