Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

If Wilson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The DeMarcus Walker pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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