Start where it matters. The Patriots took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Landing Jordan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Braswell at slot 68. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Fair-plus on Max Melton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Cam Hart at pick 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cody Schrader at pick No. 182 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They let Jha'Quan Jackson come to them and pounced at the 224th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They barely believed it either: Jawhar Jordan still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
