Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Patriots.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent slot 143 on Trey Moore, a name most had 112 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malaki Starks at the 33rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 37th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Armand Membou
A clean, defensible pick in No. 69 with a little surplus value in Armand Membou. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at pick 81 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in No. 104 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at the 178th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 1, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A slide stopped in the 220th pick, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They paid sticker price for Shilo Sanders in pick No. 238, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
