They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The cost of the Means reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Hadden pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
