Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA
The Patriots let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
The Henderson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They will need Baron to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the 14th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slipping to No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 26 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 77th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
They did well to land Isaiah Bond in slot 79, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Kevin Winston Jr. worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tyler Baron
Value said wait; Tyler Baron in the 144th pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163
Rnd5
Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in slot 163 is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick171
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 171 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd7
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
The board had Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson higher than Round 7, Pick 4, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
They jumped the gun on Cam Horsley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
The board had cheaper options than Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 241, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
