FutureA-
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Smael Mondon Jr. slide 97 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
If Trapilo pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kenneth Grant and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
They took Kenneth Grant at par in the 20th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
No edge and no loss on Nic Scourton in slot 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 67th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They talked themselves into Ozzy Trapilo at No. 69, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143
Rnd5
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 143rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 163 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick189
Rnd6
Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at slot 189, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at pick 195. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
You do not let a safety like Jordan Hancock reach Round 6, Pick 34 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Monheim in the 220th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
The board fumbled Jaishawn Barham all the way to No. 225, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick238
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
The board had Donovan Edwards higher than the Round 7 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
No drama and no debate, Garrett Dellinger went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 28. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
