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

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Moose Muhammad III fell into slot 246.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will need Gore Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Amarius Mims in the 49th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They robbed the room for Xavier Worthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 90th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
You do not let a cornerback like Denzel Burke reach slot 112 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Max Melton
The board fumbled Max Melton all the way to pick No. 140, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick181 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
By-the-book stuff, Michael Barrett at No. 181 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in pick 203 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in the 224th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Good price on Omar Speights in the 233rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
