Start where it matters. The Patriots took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If Ezirim pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Barton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
