Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

On value alone, Trice makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 3rd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
The board fumbled Olumuyiwa Fashanu all the way to slot 34, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to pick 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bralen Trice
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 103rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 137 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
They barely believed it either: Tykee Smith still on the board at No. 193. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
