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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Sinnott has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Getting Washington where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Hit on Caleb Williams and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 5 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They liked Patrick Paul enough to skip the value, taking him in the 34th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bucky Irving this early at Round 3, Pick 5. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 139th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Somehow Joe Milton III was still sitting there in slot 182, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Value with a capital V on Jawhar Jordan in pick 224, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at slot 232 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
