Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- 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 No. 220 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Wedig pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 38 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A slide stopped in pick No. 87, with Malachi Moore worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 105th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in pick 123, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at slot 143, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 190th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nick Nash
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Nash. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at the 217th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
No drama and no debate, Bryson Nesbit went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
