No surprise that Bill Belichick traded back from pick 21. Despite the inevitability of the move, the Pats left some good prospects on the board. I would have liked to see Bill resist the temptation of a trade and select a CB (McDuffie/Elam) or a LB (Walker/Lloyd.) McDuffie was, ironically, the player selected by the Chiefs at 21.
The O-line needs help, but selecting Cole Strange represents a massive reach. Strange is versatile, and can play OG or OC, but he'll need to be coached up quickly. With incumbent Center, David Andrews, 1 year into a 4-year contract, Strange may need to start his NFL career fighting for the RG spot. Wherever he lines up, this is an underwhelming selection.
Grade: D-

Bill Belichick with another apparent reach in the 2022 draft, and he even traded up to do it. The Patriots haven't had much success drafting wide receivers in the Belichick era, but give it another whirl with 4.28 speedster Tyquan Thornton.

An undersized player, Marcus Jones, is still one of the DraftTek favored CBs. He showed productivity in both the slot and outside cornerback positions.
He is also a valuable kick and punt returner -- over 2,000 kick return yards and 6 TDs, and over 800 punt return yards with 3 TDs. He can be overmatched by larger receivers, but is scrappy and a secure tackler.
Grade: B

PATRIOTS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
