Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

There is reaching, and then there is LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 193. The Patriots jumped the board by 91 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Mitchell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 3rd pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in slot 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 4, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Quinyon Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Quinyon Mitchell still on the board at No. 103. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick137 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They liked Mason McCormick enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 137. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: LaDarius Henderson in slot 193, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dillon Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Johnson in the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
