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

You could see the war room lean forward. TreVeyon Henderson at the 77th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If Dumas-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 4 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They liked Trey Amos enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 38. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to No. 77, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
They jumped the gun on Jah Joyner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They paid sticker price for Akili Arnold in Round 7, Pick 1, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A slide stopped in the 238th overall pick, with Jermari Harris worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
