Larceny in pick No. 217 lands the Patriots a A-, Mondon Jr. and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Smael Mondon Jr. slide 115 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The Bryant reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Caelen Carson gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Fair-plus on Isaiah Bond, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 44th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A reach on Donovan Jackson in slot 69; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to No. 76, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in pick 104, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 143 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148
Rnd5
Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at No. 148 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 217th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220
Rnd7
Miles Frazier
Nothing to complain about; Miles Frazier went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in the 238th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
