The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 65 name on the board, in No. 144.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Adding Matt Goncalves by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Wyatt Milum and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 17
By-the-book stuff, Wyatt Milum at pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 30
Nice patience on Isaiah Bond, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 20
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in No. 49, and they pounced on premier safety value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 56
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at the 72nd pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 68
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 80 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Derrick Harmon · DT · rank 66
They will replay Derrick Harmon at the 86th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 83
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 7 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 65
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 144 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 197
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to slot 218, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Amari Kight · OT · rank 217
Good price on Amari Kight in No. 220, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Tony Grimes · CB · rank 238
They paid sticker price for Tony Grimes in pick No. 236, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.42 · Pick 256 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 263
Mason Taylor at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
