Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Jared Wilson, the No. 109 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 222nd overall pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
