It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think a better way to put it is we should be drafting based upon the positions/roles where this caliber player has a reasonable path to a spot which are not all positions/roles.Long shot is probably too strong for the 4th round pick, I agree. But this is a funny year, and a historical precedent is probably not too accurate either. We picked a guy in the late 3rd who many projected as a mid to late 2nd. I don't think that is too common in a normal year. And everyone says this draft is very shallow with little top end talent after the 4th, so we will see. It is fun to have a few binkies, but open spots on the Pats' roster are quite limited this year, probably on purpose.
Look at his game logs. Crushed it against every worthy opponent.Just watched some Tylan Wallace. Yes please.
Cox had shoulder surgery and there are questions that it went well.I'm shocked Jabril Cox is available.
Also, Cade Johnson spent the senior bowl making the top CB's fall on their asses, dude is shifty as hell
OLOur 4th rounder has always made the 53. I see now reason for Belichick not to continue. Belichick will plan that when he picks. An OL will have little problem,
I think Herron is sticking around.OL
Brown
Wynn

competition for rookie for remaining 3 spots

Cajuste
Cunningham

A 4th round OL would make the team, a 5,6,7 would have a reasonable chance too.
Given the ps slots I expect we will add 3-4 OL to bring to camp in remaining picks and UDFAs
I think Herron is too, but if you draft an OT in round 4 and cajuste is healthy and up to his projection Herron is at risk. He was forced into action and didn’t pee his pants but with a healthy Cajuste and a 4th round caliber OT he never would have seen the field last year.I think Herron is sticking around.
Cajuste is a wild card - they really liked him a lot, but two years off is an eternity, and now he begins his career in his third year.
Having just done a quick draft 53 man roster, we really don't have many available spots for rookies. I know that Bill said yesterday that he doesn't go into drafts identifying the positions he needs to take players, but it really seems like there are only semi-open spots on the o-line, outside corner and possibly a depth running back or receiver.
I've been plenty wrong before but would therefore expect a couple of depth lineman similar to last year and a developmental corner, and either a running back or receiver - ideally with special teams value. I wouldn't completely rule out another shot at a kicker either.
I reckon we trade our picks and end up with less than 5 players today, possibly as few as 3.

Didn’t he get the best DT in the draft by trading those picks? Chill. He’s probably drafting an OL and a CB.Bill MUST, M-U-S-T, keep ALL of his day 3 picks today - he already Foolishly threw away TWO of them yesterday - and use ALL of them now EXCLUSIVELY at WR, OT & CB...No...Other...Positions...

Noooooooooooooooooo! No more 3% milk projects.Don't forget to draft a Kicker in 4th/5th/6th round.
