Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Will Sheppard in No. 108, a good 192 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Henderson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Fairchild in pick 72. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 86th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at pick No. 108 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 144 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Daylen Everette
They took Daylen Everette at par in pick 169, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A big swing on Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 218th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the 223rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 239 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
