- Harris was already drafted, so RB was not a need target after that, and neither Pollard nor Mattison was a need pick
- Slayton was a late 5th round pick, and the Patriots passed on him numerous times after drafting Cajuste
- Mack was a 7th round pick, and the Patriots passed on him numerous times after drafting Cajuste
The team traded up in order to grab a punter, but they chose not to draft Slayton or Mack, passing on them multiple times after having taking Cajuste. The team chose to draft Harris when they could have taken Pollard or Mattison. So why are those four supposed to count in this exercise?
