Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
The Patriots let Nolen fall and pounced. Final grade: A. The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.
That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
They let Marcus Mbow come to them and pounced at pick 66. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 77 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 95th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
