Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at pick No. 220 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Tetairoa McMillan graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No drama and no debate, Marcus Mbow went about where he belonged in pick No. 45. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 69 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Somehow Harold Fannin Jr. was still sitting there in the 74th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at the 80th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 143 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick 162 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in slot 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at No. 220. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 238th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
