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

The rest of the league had time to spare on KeAndre Lambert-Smith; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 52 spots ahead at Round 5, Pick 6. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 4 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They paid a round early for TreVeyon Henderson in the 38th pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Jack Bech. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Dylan Fairchild in the 77th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They talked themselves into Hollin Pierce at pick 106, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, KeAndre Lambert-Smith well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
