zimmer DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Patriots left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If Higgins pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On value alone, Henderson makes the weekend a net positive.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Will Campbell
Will Campbell in Round 1, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jayden Higgins in pick No. 38, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in the 69th pick, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A clean, defensible pick in pick 77 with a little surplus value in Maxwell Hairston. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
