Brop9404 DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
A passer of the future in Williams, and a A-, for the Patriots. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Mason McCormick got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 255.
Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will need Oladapo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
E.J. Speed gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Williams and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in slot 68 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at pick 71. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the 88th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Nothing to complain about; Christian Mahogany went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A premium they did not need to pay, Kitan Oladapo a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube slid further than he should have, and pick No. 169 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
They robbed the room for Tommy Eichenberg here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick193
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman slipping to pick 193 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226
Rnd7
KT Leveston
They paid a round early for KT Leveston in slot 226, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tayvion Robinson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tayvion Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Mason McCormick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 255 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
