The Strange pick was and will always be awful, it was a huge reach and only a position of need, because BB traded away Mason for a bag of magic beans. I don't care if he turns out to be the next John Hannah, he is NOT going to make an impact in the outcome of games (unless he really stinks).
Patriot gamechangers draft at #21 overall:
Chandler Jones
Vince Wilfork
Randy Moss
Lawrence Maroney (OK, I'll give you that one)
Daniel Graham
The 8 guys drafted last year from 21-28 almost all of them are already making significant plays with their new teams. Walker, Ilam, Johnson and Lloyd would all be starting for the Pats defense right now. Lloyd has 20 tackles and 2 INTs in 4 games!! The Pats had a chance to get an impact player at 21, instead they got role players.
Then to pass on George Pickens in round 2! Shmmesh
Right now Jack Jones looks like he could be something, the rest, meh.
The Pats are 1-3 in last place and some of you think this was a good draft????
Cole Strange has been pretty good overall so far. He’s already very good at getting to the second level and can play all three interior OL positions. There’s a lot of value in that. Mankins was a first round pick and he was an anchor on the OL for years.
The 2022 draft has little to do with the Pats record. I‘m told it takes at least one full season to evaluate a draft anyway.
Shaq Masón was a good player who declined but is now serviceable and overpaid. That trade is not the reason the Pats are 1-3.
