In the 2013 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots traded out of their original first-round spot but still capitalized on their selections. A recent Pro Football Focus redraft highlighted three players—Jamie Collins, Logan Ryan, and Duron Harmon—who were key contributors over multiple seasons. Collins showcased exceptional pass-rush ability, Ryan demonstrated versatility across positions, and Harmon proved to be a reliable safety. Collectively, they aided the Patriots in securing six Super Bowl championships, exemplifying how depth and strategy in the draft can lead to sustained success.
The Patriots made the most of their 2013 NFL Draft by turning no Day 1 picks into three selections that could easily fit in the first round.
Collins was perfect for the New England Patriots, earning PFF pass-rush grades of 93.2 and 87.2 in his second and third NFL seasons.
Harmon recorded PFF coverage grades of 69.0 or better in eight of his 11 seasons, highlighting his consistent performance and reliability for the team.
Ryan, a versatile player, didn't post top-tier grades but was essential, playing over 1,000 defensive snaps in seven of his eight seasons.
