Call it larceny. Ja'Lynn Polk sat on the board until the Round 4 slot, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The cost of the Worthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
