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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 2, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
No drama and no debate, Jarrian Jones went about where he belonged in the 137th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick180 Rnd6 Johnny Wilson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Johnny Wilson in the 180th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach pick 193 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in No. 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
