Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Williams: 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.

The Puni steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the 34th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They let Ja'Tavion Sanders come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 136 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They paid sticker price for Javon Baker in No. 182, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 229 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
