Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Adonai Mitchell, the No. 32 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 4, Pick 4.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
