Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B-, for the Patriots.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 3rd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
They paid up for Amarius Mims at Round 3, Pick 3 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They took Danny Stutsman at par in pick No. 103, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jalen McMillan
Somehow Jalen McMillan was still sitting there in No. 140, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Foster at slot 181 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryson Nesbit in the 224th pick. It fills a real need, too.
