Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Patriots let Skattebo fall into their laps, and walked away with a F.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until the 211th overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

If Sanders pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 3 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 69, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at the 77th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Fair-plus on Jaylin Noel, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at the 136th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at Round 5, Pick 6 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the 211th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the 216th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Taking Lander Barton in slot 217 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at No. 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
