Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Brooks should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tahj Brooks, the No. 115 name on the board, stolen at pick 220. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to the 36th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 67 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick 101 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 103 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 138 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick195 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 195th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 3 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at slot 220 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Upton Stout
The board fumbled Upton Stout all the way to pick No. 238, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
