If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Reese steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Maxx Crosby gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
