Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: B+.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 5th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at slot 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 69th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good price on Blake Fisher in pick No. 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in pick 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Knox at Round 6, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at No. 224 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 232 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
