Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA
The Patriots won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The cost of the Greene III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 14 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach No. 45 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Royals at the 69th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 13 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
They reached a country mile for Earnest Greene III at the 104th pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 143 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at pick No. 217. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 232nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A conviction pick on Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
