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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Patriots in pick 217 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Mertz left real value on the table behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In No. 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 6 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 77 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board had Tez Johnson higher than the 104th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 143 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Aydan White
A big swing on Aydan White at pick 220, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at No. 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
