Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Drew Kendall in slot 238. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Marks makes the weekend a net positive. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A big swing on Tre Harris at the 38th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They liked Jacob Parrish enough to skip the value, taking him in the 106th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick 119 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A reach on Andres Borregales in Round 5, Pick 6; the board had better options right there. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick217 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in No. 217, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Kendall well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
