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

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Cam Skattebo, the No. 88 name on the board, sitting there at No. 144 like a gift left on the doorstep. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. 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.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tetairoa McMillan and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 17 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 38th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Luther Burden III
They will replay Luther Burden III at No. 69 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 77th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 17 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach pick 106 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 144, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at the 171st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to No. 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dante Trader Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
