Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B weekend for the Patriots.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

That Muhammad III pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 3rd pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 35th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ladd McConkey at pick No. 67 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 10 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They read the board right and Nehemiah Pritchett was the payoff at slot 140. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Taking Moose Muhammad III in No. 181 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick 224 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
