You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Patriots spent pick No. 103 on Javon Solomon while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat unaddressed.

Torrence falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The cost of the Solomon reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
