Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureA+
The Patriots let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Fitzgerald, the Round 7 slot, roughly 115 picks past where he belonged.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Phillips pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In the end it comes back to Mykel Williams, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 14 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 38 with a little surplus value in Grey Zabel. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 69 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They paid a round early for Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
Value with a capital V on O'Donnell Fortune in the 139th overall pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the 145th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in No. 222, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the 234th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 7, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
