Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Castles reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Magee.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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