The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Cephus proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

With edge rusher, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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