Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Xzavier Henderson at No. 238 will need to, sitting 39 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Marks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A conviction pick on Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 38 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A clean, defensible pick in No. 50 with a little surplus value in Aireontae Ersery. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Fair-plus on Jalen Royals, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Good price on Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 13, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cody Simon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Simon in the 106th pick, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A reach on Andres Borregales in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They paid sticker price for Jack Nelson in No. 175, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They let Luke Lachey come to them and pounced at pick 217. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at Round 7, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the 232nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
A real head-scratcher, Xzavier Henderson in pick No. 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
