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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Patriots in slot 145 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in No. 77: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 105th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 145, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in Round 7, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Somehow Jack Kiser was still sitting there in slot 222, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick240 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
They barely believed it either: Robert Longerbeam still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
