Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Henderson: B.

Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until No. 77, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 38th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 69 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 13, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to No. 106, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 144 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd7 Addison West
Addison West at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A tidy bit of business in slot 220, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shemar James
No drama and no debate, Shemar James went about where he belonged in the 238th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
