Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until slot 220, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 3
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Tate Ratledge in the 38th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
They took Tyler Warren at par in pick No. 45, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 75
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach slot 77 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Andrew Mukuba at pick 105 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 99
Nicholas Singleton in the 143rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 191
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
Cam Skattebo in No. 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.16 · Pick 232 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 238
No drama and no debate, Will Lee III went about where he belonged in slot 232. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 211
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at Round 7, Pick 25. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
