Had to rearrange the order at QB
I think they missed Johnson at FB and Harris should be RB1.

And Herron is the back-up at LT, not Cajuste.. I don't remember Herron taking a snap at Guard last year..
 
NFW - No ****ing Way - would I have sacrificed TWO valuable, precious 4th-round picks just to jump ahead of what, one team maybe, and take somebody with obvious bust potential...I would've had no problem with Barmore at 46, but we needed those 4th-rounders more - much Much More - than we needed him at 38...Terrible trade.

If throwing away those 2 4th rounders meant not drafting an obsolete cb than I’m calling it a draft day win.

I’ll applaud them taking their chances to make sure they secured a first round talent of Barmore’s potential rather than rolling the dice on a position they have been traditionally terrible at in the 2nd round.

This team has a lot of depth at this point. An abundance of dart picks is not a need. Playmakers are.

Considering that the Patriots had three 4th round picks, heading into Day Two I was okay with the idea of trading up.

However, when you look at the trade value draft chart, the Pats slightly overpaid in that deal. Moving from #46 to #38 is a difference of 29.78 points, so rather than trading 4.122 and 4.139, a fair trade value should have been 4.120 and 5.177.

Being forced to forfeit 3.77 really stings, as it creates limitations on who you target, what you can offer in a trade, etc. Not losing 3.77 at minimum would have more than made up for the loss of those two fours (59.85 points versus 37.22 points).

Other draft charts show we only gave up 6 more points out of like 380 points, not too bad especially if they thought Barmore was going soon and there was a steep drop off on the other DLine prospects. As an example does anyone care that we burned picks to move up for Hightower or Chandler Jones? If Barmore pans out it's all good.

Wow, Amari is Tee Martin's son. The man is one of the Brady 6!

That’s nuts.

There are some moments when the longevity is almost unfathomable.

When Tom Brady came into the league, Joe Montana had been retired for six years.

Tom Brady is still playing and Peyton Manning has now been retired for six years.
