The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 68th pick on Joe Milton III a full 101 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
