The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That McCaffrey pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The Trey McBride pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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