After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The Jessie Bates III deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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