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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, pick 217, roughly 107 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They took Matthew Golden at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A big swing on Trey Amos at pick 38, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 69 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 77th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in No. 104, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 6 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to the 178th pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at No. 220. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kobe King
They robbed the room for Kobe King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 238 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
