The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The cost of the Sinnott reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The Brade pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
