New England Patriots

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Skattebo: A.

Future A+

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into pick 217. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

They will need Weaver to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Josh Simmons and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 22
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
Isaiah Bond at slot 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and No. 55 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
Taking Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 69
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in the 77th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 83
Devin Neal in pick 105 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Jake Majors at the 143rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
R5.27 · Pick 164 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 126
They will replay Sonny Styles at pick No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 114
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 211
Nice patience on DJ Campbell, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 342
J.J. Weaver at No. 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
