Thirty-one other rooms let Michael Wiley slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the 224th pick. Highway robbery. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If JC Latham and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
