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-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 13
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 44
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.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 57
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.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 93
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.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 55
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 77th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in No. 104, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 130
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.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 122
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to the 178th pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 110
Cam Skattebo in pick 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 120
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.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Kobe King · LB · rank 124
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.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 206
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.
