Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Mims at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The cost of the Thomas Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
