Grand theft in the 222nd pick: the Patriots steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at No. 222.
The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 12th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in pick 38, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Ezeiruaku
No drama and no debate, Donovan Ezeiruaku went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 5. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 76 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in the Round 3 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in pick No. 137, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 145 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
They barely believed it either: Carson Schwesinger still on the board at the 150th overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick182
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick 182 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 187th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 7, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 222nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
