Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in pick No. 219 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 114 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Thornton Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 3 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A wild overpay on Aireontae Ersery in pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Jackson in the 67th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Value with a capital V on Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 15, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in the 93rd pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A quiet steal in slot 103: Danny Stutsman for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A slide stopped in No. 105, with Jake Majors worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Lander Barton
You do not let a linebacker like Lander Barton reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at the 238th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
