Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a B.

The Patriots lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in No. 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They paid sticker price for Elijah Arroyo in pick 69, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
By-the-book stuff, Carson Schwesinger at slot 77 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A quiet steal in the 114th overall pick: Cam Skattebo for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 193, where Jaylen Reed graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at Round 7, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
