Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Graham Mertz selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 91 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The Henderson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
This one needs a full-page explanation: JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 34, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had cheaper options than Jayden Higgins at slot 67, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They paid sticker price for Deontae Lawson in the 79th overall pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 29 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick 103. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
A slide stopped in slot 105, with Elic Ayomanor worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 138th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in pick No. 163, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 238th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
