Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Williams is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B.

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. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Edwards. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Nothing to complain about; Keon Coleman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 68th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at No. 103 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Circle this one: Donovan Edwards at pick No. 139 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A slide stopped in the 182nd pick, with Julian Pearl worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
