Resetting the #Patriots remaining picks: 6-208 (comp) 6-214 (comp) 6-221 (comp) 7-225 (from Seattle)
After getting Mitchell, the trades got rid of almost all of the remaining picks they could trade.

I am, however, surprised that they have basically punted on any of the RB choices in this draft. I thought they'd try to pick up somebody like Dixon, Booker, or Perkins.
Yeah, that surprises me. Were Dixon and Booker gone between the time they got 147 and the time they traded out?
ESPN just did a focus on my boy, Sharpe. Man, I really, really like him. His hands are ludicrous.
RB is such a weird position. Adrian Foster went undrafted. The Pats certainly know about picking RBs off the scrap heap for little cost. Blount and Lewis are prime examples of that.

The Pats got a fourth-rounder in 2017 from Seattle. Remember, the Pats' highest fourth-rounder in '17 gets taken by the league.

I wouldn't sweat them not getting any of these running backs. They had their chance and said not worth it.
Yeah, I wasn't sold on any of these running backs either. Hopefully, it means they are happy with the progress Lewis is making from his injury. What a difference maker he was for this offense last year. I still think they plan to get Reynolds.
Browns just took what, their third WR? Jordan Payton from UCLA.

There's a long way to go for that to happen, and they have nothing to trade now to move up unless they dip into next year's draft.
I am kind of back and forth on their strategy here. Do they win SB 49 without Vereen? I am guessing no. I think the third biggest injury on offense (after Solder and Edelman) this year was the loss of Lewis. Maybe they win one more game with him?
If he's still there, would love to see the Pats take a flier on Keith Marshall from Georgia with a 6th rounder. Before his injuries, he was a legit Heisman candidate with sub 4.4 speed. If he finds that speed again (and his combine suggest he has), with good size, he's a bona fide lottery ticket.
He was projected as a 6th or 7th round selection. Not sure why he wouldn't be there in the 6th.
That being said, this seems to be one of those times we all think or want it to happen and it doesn't ever happen.
Why? It's been a fantastic offseason. The team is likely better then the one that ended last season. And they've added (hopefully) good depth in this draft. I don't think there is a position on the team that a rookie would have started for this season. This draft was always going to be about depth and 2017/beyond.
Oh, between not getting Reynolds, the running backs disappearing and SSF not getting any of the 17 Notre Dame players he wanted, it's been binky-free
Oh cmon burbridge, mills and Alexander are all available
