Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Jimmy Horn Jr. a full 82 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Henderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 6. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at pick No. 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They jumped the gun on Dylan Fairchild, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 104th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Farmer. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 217th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A wild overpay on Jimmy Horn Jr. in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Sheppard well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
