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.
