New England Patriots

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Will Sheppard in No. 108, a good 192 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Henderson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 6
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 137
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 56
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Fairchild in pick 72. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Jake Majors · C · rank 65
Jake Majors at the 86th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Will Sheppard · WR · rank 300
Will Sheppard at pick No. 108 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 132
Jihaad Campbell at slot 144 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 176
They took Daylen Everette at par in pick 169, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Jimmy Horn Jr. · WR · rank 298
A big swing on Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 218th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 71
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the 223rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.25 · Pick 239 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 223
Jake Slaughter in slot 239 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
