Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+
ValueA-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+. The Chris Tyree pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 59 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The Henderson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 23rd overall pick they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick30
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In pick No. 30 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Emery Jones
Good price on Emery Jones in Round 2, Pick 3, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in No. 53, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62
Rnd2
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at pick 62 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
They robbed the room for Tacario Davis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp slid further than he should have, and the 94th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd4
Hunter Wohler
Nothing to complain about; Hunter Wohler went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jay Higgins
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Jay Higgins, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick131
Rnd5
Andrew Mukuba
They reached into another round for Andrew Mukuba, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195
Rnd7
Chris Tyree
A real head-scratcher, Chris Tyree in the 195th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
