Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Williams: B-.

The Khari Coleman selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 79 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Barton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Franklin in the 34th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at Round 3, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at slot 103 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 139 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 182nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in the 224th pick; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick232 Rnd7 Khari Coleman
Khari Coleman at pick 232 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
