The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 61 name on the board, in No. 128.

Trapilo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nick Emmanwori and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 25
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at slot 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at No. 52. The roster fit checks out.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 129
Ozzy Trapilo at pick 65 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 117
A wild overpay on Jack Nelson in the 71st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 105 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.23 · Pick 124 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 81
They will replay Deontae Lawson at the 124th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 131
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.27 · Pick 128 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 61
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach pick 128 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 274
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at slot 220, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 206
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Seth McLaughlin in the 241st overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
