The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

If Robinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Gabriel steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The George Kittle pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
