Draft Grade — Patriots

Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Patriots a B, Mondon Jr. and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 217 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Campbell reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach No. 38 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 5 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the 77th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at pick 104 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 143 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 217 for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Campbell a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 238 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
