There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Xavier Restrepo a full 29 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
