Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Isaac Rex went at the Round 7 slot, a good 61 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Henderson to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers at the 3rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They paid up for Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 68 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They read the board right and Zak Zinter was the payoff at slot 103. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Travis at Round 5, Pick 3 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
The board fumbled LaDarius Henderson all the way to pick 182, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac Rex
Value said wait; Isaac Rex in Round 7, Pick 4 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
