Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots let Higgins fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jay Higgins, the 220th overall pick, roughly 99 picks past where he belonged.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Dellinger to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Value said wait; Grey Zabel in pick 36 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They robbed the room for Tyleik Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid sticker price for Darien Porter in the 77th overall pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 104 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 141st pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Davison Igbinosun
The board had cheaper options than Davison Igbinosun at slot 217, and it noticed. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at Round 7, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
