Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

That Watts pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Taylor Moton gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, with Mason Graham leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
