You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Nick Nash in slot 102. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

On value alone, Skattebo makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 55
Aireontae Ersery at pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in No. 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Shemar Stewart · DL-EDGE · rank 51
Shemar Stewart at the 41st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 3, Pick 2. It fills a real need, too.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Dani Dennis-Sutton · DE-EDGE · rank 141
A wild overpay on Dani Dennis-Sutton in the 70th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 96
They paid up for Tez Johnson at pick No. 80 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.1 · Pick 102 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 251
Value said wait; Nick Nash in pick No. 102 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 210
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at slot 106, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 250
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 184
Cam Skattebo at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 316
They reached into another round for RJ Harvey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
R7.21 · Pick 235 · Ja'Corey Brooks · WR · rank 208
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Corey Brooks reach pick 235 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
