Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

The Patriots did not so much draft Ricky White as overpay for him, 38 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They jumped the gun on Tre Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Belton at pick 67, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ricky White
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricky White in the 78th pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
They talked themselves into Raheim Sanders at slot 99, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
They paid a round early for Andrew Mukuba in Round 5, Pick 3, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd7 Tyler Van Dyke
No edge and no loss on Tyler Van Dyke in the 195th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
