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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Patriots in No. 217 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The DK Metcalf pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker is a better player than the 38th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 69 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 77 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in pick 143 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 1 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 220th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Clay Webb
The board fumbled Clay Webb all the way to pick No. 238, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
