The Patriots won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, the Round 7 slot, roughly 108 picks past where he belonged.
The cost of the Batty reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick37
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach No. 38 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick 77 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in the 104th pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to the 178th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216
Rnd6
DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at Round 6, Pick 41 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 217th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in pick No. 220, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
A wild overpay on Mitchell Evans in No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
