Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Webb: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Clay Webb, pick 238, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 8 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They jumped the gun on Cameron Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slipping to the 106th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 144 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 220 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Somehow Clay Webb was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 22, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
