Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Skattebo: A.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 217th pick.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Trapilo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In the end it comes back to Luther Burden III, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 20 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 38th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 45th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at pick 51 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in No. 69, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 77. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 189th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick No. 217, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner slipping to pick 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Miles Frazier at slot 238. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
