The Frank Crum selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 91 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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