Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 109 name on the board, in the 220th pick.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 4 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They did well to land Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 38, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in slot 69, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good price on Andrew Mukuba in No. 77, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A real head-scratcher, Ozzy Trapilo in Round 4, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 217th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 220th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in slot 238, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
