Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 3rd pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 2. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 68th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 103 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Tupuola-Fetui. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They let Isaiah Neyor come to them and pounced at slot 224. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
