Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Henderson: D-.

The Clay Webb pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 33 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 6 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
No drama and no debate, Jabbar Muhammad went about where he belonged in pick No. 34. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick38 Rnd2 Clay Webb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Clay Webb well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A clean, defensible pick in pick 66 with a little surplus value in Tate Ratledge. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Value with a capital V on Sebastian Castro in the 70th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at pick No. 98 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd5 Jason Henderson
They will replay Jason Henderson at Round 5, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd7 Justin Walley
A conviction pick on Justin Walley at slot 194 that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
