Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Skattebo: B-.

When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to pick No. 217, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Reaching for Walker left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Fair-plus on Jack Bech, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 77th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker at slot 106 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jonas Sanker at the 220th pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at slot 238. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
