The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Every board in the league had Monheim lower, and that gap is the story. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.

The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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