Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
Williams is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B+.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Bryson Nesbit, taking him 80 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
They paid sticker price for Caleb Williams in slot 2, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devontez Walker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the 103rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 5 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick198 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
They talked themselves into Bryson Nesbit at Round 7, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at the 224th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
