The one they had to fix is still broken. The Patriots left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 4th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Grey Zabel at No. 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
