Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Mondon Jr.: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 98 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 6. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Nash reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 38 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 77th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in pick No. 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 143rd overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 217 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach slot 238 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
