The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Thrash has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Alexander. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
