Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent slot 238 on Jalen Travis, a name most had 45 spots down the list.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Henderson at that price is a win they earned. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 14 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Sawyer in slot 38. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in the 45th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 69 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason Taylor. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 4 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick 114 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
A wild overpay on DJ Giddens in Round 5, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
They took Theo Wease Jr. at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
