Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B- weekend for the Patriots.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Walter Rouse in pick 182.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Getting Amegadjie where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams in pick No. 3 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A slide stopped in slot 34, with Keon Coleman worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 3 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They talked themselves into Walter Rouse at pick 182, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in slot 224, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick 232 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
