You can draft well and still miss the point. The Patriots did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

McClellan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will need Wilson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
