Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Mondon Jr.: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 111 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 1. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They paid a round early for Tre Harris in pick No. 38, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Charles Grant this early at slot 81. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 105th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 145th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in No. 219, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They reached into another round for Seth McLaughlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A premium they did not need to pay, Clay Webb a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
