The Patriots robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at Round 7, Pick 4 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Reaching for Weaver left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick No. 14 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
They did well to land Dylan Fairchild in the 59th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Hollin Pierce
They reached a country mile for Hollin Pierce at Round 3, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at the 104th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in No. 138, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at the 143rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 181 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick207
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 207 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
They reached into another round for Graham Mertz, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the 220th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Bryson Nesbit
By-the-book stuff, Bryson Nesbit at pick 238 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 253rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
