Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B weekend for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Murphy at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 3 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at slot 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in pick No. 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They let Khyree Jackson come to them and pounced at the 115th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick139 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 3 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Zakhari Franklin at the 224th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
