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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, Round 6, Pick 33, roughly 95 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Everette has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Fair-plus on Isaiah Bond, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan James
Taking Jordan James in the 89th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A conviction pick on Daylen Everette at pick No. 105 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 143 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Value with a capital V on Miles Frazier in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Karene Reid
They robbed the room for Karene Reid here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
