The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Max Iheanachor at Round 1, Pick 31 regardless, 110 picks early. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
