Start where it matters. The Patriots took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
