Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Nash has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 6. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than pick 106, and the safety fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They paid a round early for Nick Nash in No. 144, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Hancock at pick No. 220, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 238th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
