Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Drew Kendall at the 238th pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 56 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Getting Henderson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 4th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 69 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in the 77th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A big swing on Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They let Kyle Monangai come to them and pounced at the 217th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in No. 220 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
