Grand theft in the 143rd overall pick: the Patriots steal Henderson and grade out a A-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched TreVeyon Henderson slide 88 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
They will need Slackman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
The Schwesinger pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and quarterback.
In the end it comes back to Tate Ratledge, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They liked Tate Ratledge enough to skip the value, taking him in the 64th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jack Bech
They took Jack Bech at par in No. 66, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick No. 69 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
A surprising call. With edge rusher and quarterback still to address, they spent slot 84 on Carson Schwesinger, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick 96 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in the 106th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142
Rnd5
Gunnar Helm
They will replay Gunnar Helm at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 143 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 168 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 170th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 217th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at No. 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook at pick No. 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
