Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Nick Nash selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 110 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A mixed bag that lands at C.

Skattebo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They paid up for Josh Conerly Jr. at pick No. 34 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in No. 39. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 70th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Amos at pick 72. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 80th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 106th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They reached into another round for Nick Nash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A quiet steal in pick 221: Seth McLaughlin for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 223, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A tidy bit of business in slot 235, where Cody Lindenberg graded well above the range. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
