Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureF
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a C to match.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Mycah Pittman at No. 224 is 146 spots clear of where he belonged.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Moose Muhammad III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Moose Muhammad III this early at pick No. 103. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They let Dallin Holker come to them and pounced at No. 139. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roger Rosengarten in slot 203. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
A real head-scratcher, Mycah Pittman in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
