Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a B for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Oladapo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 3rd pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in slot 34, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at the 68th overall pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to pick No. 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 5, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A tidy bit of business in the 193rd overall pick, where Tip Reiman graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Nice patience on Cornelius Johnson, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 19. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They read the board right and Garret Greenfield was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
