Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent No. 193 on Joshua Cephus, a name the board had a full 70 spots lower. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. McClellan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
