FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Monangai. Final grade: B+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Kyle Monangai, the No. 218 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 238. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Porter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The Christian Kirk deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in pick 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Milum in No. 58, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in the 69th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
By-the-book stuff, Jared Ivey at pick No. 77 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 106th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick171
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Karene Reid
Karene Reid in No. 220 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Taking Kyle Monangai in the 238th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
