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

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

They banked enough surplus on McCaffrey to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 4 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 27th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A reach for Roman Wilson in pick 34; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 68th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in slot 90, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A straight-up fair deal on Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in No. 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Nice patience on Dwight McGlothern, who had no business lasting to pick No. 188. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in No. 229. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
