Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: B-.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mondon Jr.. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Lachey left real value on the table behind him.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 7 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
They let Kevin Winston Jr. come to them and pounced at the 34th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at Round 2, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Restrepo. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
They paid up for Luke Lachey at No. 98 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick194 Rnd7 Will Lee III
A straight-up fair deal on Will Lee III at the 194th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
