Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

Getting Foster where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will need Mims to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at the 35th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A conviction pick on Amarius Mims at No. 67 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board fumbled Javon Foster all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 140 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 181 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
