The 2017 to 2019 draft by the Patriots was rough but the 2019 class is especially bad as those are players who you expect to be significantly contributing in a positive manner by their 3rd year and we did not get that all (with the exception of Damien Harris)
- Round 1 - N'Keal Harry
- Round 2 - Joejuan Williams
- Round 3 - Chase Winovich
- Round 3 - Damien Harris
- Round 3 - Yodny Cajuste
- Round 4 - Hjalte Froholdt
Every team misses in the draft, but we missed so badly with our first 3 picks in this draft that the team is still feeling the after affects even now. I feel like if BB had just taken the consensus pick we would have gotten better talent, if he let someone from this sub draft that year we would have had better talent.
The 2020 draft class was better, and the 2021 was exceptional, hopefully that is a good sign for the team.
A ton of talent has come into the league at the WR position these last 3 drafts. While players drafted in earlier drafts inherently have an advantage over the more recent drafts due to a larger sample size, you can still balance what you've seen vs. how you project going forward. Who would your top 10 WRs be if you had the choice to draft them all right now?

Typically the rule is that you can tell about a draft pick after three full seasons whether or not they will be a major contributor to your team or if it is time to move on. The 2019 draft class is entering their third season, who is in a make or break year? Who has solidified themselves as a future franchise player/will play a significant role in their teams future?
Reasons for picking Dwayne Haskins- This selection might actually be a controversial one, given that Haskins did sign with another team and may get a chance to start in the future. But, when a first-round QB fails to last 2 years with the team that drafted him, I think that they have earned this title, which is sad, because the rise of Dwayne Haskins to being a first-round pick is itself incredible. Not only did Haskins spend 2 years as a backup to JT Barrett, Ohio State’s 4-year starter at QB, but he also had to beat out Joe Burrow for the starting QB job in the spring of 2018. After entering the Ohio State history books for stepping in for an injured Barrett in a 2017 comeback win against Michigan, Haskins’ 2018 season was arguably the best of any QB in Buckeyes history. Finishing First-team All-Big Ten and winning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, Haskins set new Big Ten single-season records for passing yards (4,831), touchdown passes (50), and total offensive yards (4,939). He also led Ohio State to both the Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl win over the University of Washington, winning the MVP Award in both games. Despite only having one season as a starting QB under his belt, Haskins declared for the NFL Draft after the season. Originally expected to easily be selected in the Top 10, he would wind up falling to his hometown team, the then-Washington Redskins, with the #15 pick. The decision to draft Haskins was made despite some reservations by then-Washington head coach Jay Gruden, with owner Dan Snyder having been personally familiar with Haskins, as Snyder’s son had gone to the same high school as Haskins. Though Washington had long-since unofficially retired the #7 jersey number in honor of former QB Joe Theismann, Haskins got permission from Theismann to wear #7 with Washington.
In training camp, Haskins battled with veteran Case Keenum for the starting QB job, but initially struggled to understand Jay Gruden’s West Coast Offense and would start the season as a backup

This weekend could be a good opportunity for the line to get good reps. The Falcons defensive line is one of the worst in the NFL. Their defense as a whole is one of the worst in the NFL. Looking for the offensive line to make big steps forward on Saturday.
