Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Patriots a B, Mukuba and all.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Andrew Mukuba, the No. 87 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 6. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They are betting Garcia proves the room right and everyone else wrong. 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
Pick4 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Armand Membou
A tidy bit of business in the 38th overall pick, where Armand Membou graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Nice patience on Elic Ayomanor, who had no business lasting to No. 69. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 77th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in pick No. 105, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in slot 145 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 222 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick240 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at No. 240, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
