One of my favorite things about a Pats draft is the trades that usually ensue, and following all the tentacles of those trades. This one did not disappoint, with 3 trades:
1. we moved down from 21 to 29, picking up a 3rd (94) and a 4th (121).
- with 29, we drafted Cole Strange, who was the guy we wanted more than anyone in this draft
- with the 3/94, we traded it to Carolina - see #3 below
- with the 4/121, we drafted CB Jack Jones.
2. we moved up from 54 to 50, paying a 5th (158) to do it, in order to grab Tyquan Thornton
3. with the 3/94 that we traded to Carolina, we got a 4/137 and a 2023 3rd.
- with the 4/137, we drafted QB Bailey Zappe
- the 2023 3rd is gonna be a very high 3rd. The Panthers play the Bucs and Saints twice, the Rams, Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, Browns, Steelers, 49ers, Seahawks in Seattle, and the Cardinals. Also the Falcons twice, the Giants, and the Lions. They'll win 5 games max. Our pick will be about #69 or 70.
So the profit from the trades was:
- Jack Jones
- Bailey Zappe
- a pick at the top of the 3rd round next year, a very valuable asset
- we did sacrifice a 2022 5th, but that was just to make sure we got Thornton
Great wheeling & dealing. I think Groh learned from the best this draft day.
