Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Carson Schwesinger, the No. 69 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 106. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Josh Allen pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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