Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Patriots: C+.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Xzavier Henderson, 228 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moore. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 4 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xzavier Henderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xzavier Henderson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dylan Sampson at No. 69 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Green
Mike Green in Round 3, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Alijah Huzzie
A wild overpay on Alijah Huzzie in the 105th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
A reach for Ben Sauls in the 145th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach pick No. 219 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in pick 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jackson Woodard
They reached a country mile for Jackson Woodard at slot 240, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
