1) We can't hit with all the picks.
2) 3 who contribute al lot in their rookie years is GREAT. That was the case in 2021 when we had 4 picks in the first 3 rounds.
3) We also hope for draft choice who might contribute in the future. In 2021 we got 3: Perkins, McGrone and Bledsoe.
4) Contrary to public opinion, Belichick does target specific positions, knowing that not all will be drafted. In 2021, I would think he targeted QB, DL, LB and RB. The draft was GREAT because he met all these needs, two with future prospects (Perkins and McGrone).
============
My BOTTOM LINE is that, after our trading around, we can reasonably hope for THREE 2022 contributors if we have a GREAT draft. I suspect that our targets will be CB, DE and OG. I suppose that a 4th round RB or WR is possible. Obviously, we will take long shots on almost anyone on our draft board in the 5th round onward.
