Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Grand theft in pick No. 145: the Patriots steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Smael Mondon Jr. at the 145th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Nico Collins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 23rd overall pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Fair-plus on Armand Membou, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 53. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 69 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 20. Edge rusher and quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Azareye'h Thomas did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A slide stopped in No. 87, with Elijah Arroyo worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in the 105th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 145 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in Round 5, Pick 21 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in the 222nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
