Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Henderson from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 106th pick.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Nelson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in the 4th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at Round 2, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in slot 77 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 106th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A reach on Jack Nelson in pick No. 171; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Drew Kendall in pick 220, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in the 238th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
