You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Patriots did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Davis where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
