Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Williams is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a 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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 46 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the 67th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They jumped the gun on Brenden Rice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A tidy little value on Cade Stover in the 140th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
