Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Smael Mondon Jr. got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 1. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in No. 45, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 69 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 77th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 145th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at the 222nd overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in No. 234, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach pick 240 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
