Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 73 picks early on Drew Kendall, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 4th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They barely believed it either: Matthew Golden still on the board at Round 2, Pick 6. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at No. 69 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at pick No. 144 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A quiet steal in pick No. 217: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached into another round for Drew Kendall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
