Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B, for the Patriots.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Pearsall steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 2nd pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slipping to Round 2, Pick 2 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 66th overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Nice patience on Khyree Jackson, who had no business lasting to No. 139. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
They barely believed it either: Ainias Smith still on the board at pick 180. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
