So far, it's been pretty dull trade-wise . . .

16 | 46 | FRG 96 | 120 122 139 | 177 | 188 197 | 242

Nike traded away three picks to get 38:

16 | 38 | FRG 96 | 120 | 177 | 188 197 | 242

Nike took Nick Saban's advice, drafting QB Mac Jones and DT Christian Barmore from Alabama, and DE Ronnie Perkins from Oklahoma.
 
Honestly, my only complaint so far is I wanted more speed for the WR corps. Really wanted Elijah Moore (Jets got him at 34) or Rondale Moore, who was there when we drafted Barmore. But I understand the Barmore pick, getting a 1st rounder in the 2nd round, is always the preferred move. Especially one as good as Barmore. Totally ecstatic so far. Really don’t care about the picks in rounds 4-7, it’s all just bonus picks, maybe Oline or a binkie or 2. Belichick seems to do well with Olinemen in rounds 4-7.

I think our offense will be ok. Maybe focus on speed on offense in the 2022 draft. Mac should be ready to start by then.
 
What happens to wino now?
 
Is this a new regime? From 2015-2020, we've drafted one all-pro, a punter. Few of our starters have come from our draftees over that period (3rd worst in the league). Often players are drafted a round or two earlier than anyone would think.

I'm not criticizing. No team has better results over the past two decades
====================================
We need what Pioli calls "rent control", good starters on rookie contracts.
