Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with David Walker at the 83rd overall pick, a reach of 76 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
On value alone, Henderson makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick No. 6 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 35 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at the 41st overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at No. 71 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83
Rnd3
David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at the 83rd pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jack Bech
They read the board right and Jack Bech was the payoff at pick No. 105. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at pick 119 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 144 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in No. 200, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the 221st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Eli Stowers
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
You do not let a safety like Jordan Hancock reach the 237th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
