Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Garrett Dellinger at the Round 5 slot is 109 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Henderson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 2 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in slot 42, and they pounced on premier safety value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the 72nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid up for Jake Majors at Round 3, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Que Robinson
They reached a country mile for Que Robinson at pick No. 113, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the 138th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in No. 140 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They talked themselves into Trey Wedig at pick 219, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A big swing on Will Sheppard at Round 7, Pick 8, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
