A breakdown of the initial wave of free agency for the New England Patriots:
Overall grade: B. Last year's media lovefest with the Patriots being "all-in" serves as a reminder of how hard it can be to accurately assess a team's moves before seeing them on the field. The acquisitions of cornerback Jason McCourty and defensive tackle Danny Shelton, in particular, currently look like the signature moves of the offseason.
Most significant signing: If it's specific to a free-agent signing, defensive end Adrian Clayborn gets the nod as he could provide a boost to the pass rush if healthy.
