Start where it matters. The Patriots took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
