NFL Draft 2019: Biggest steal for each team

Year after year, the New England Patriots end up owning the offseason. They take the players they want, regardless of what the masses say and they just keep winning Super Bowls.

Having said that, this draft started out a little different for them. With their first pick, the final selection in the first round, the Patriots grabbed a wide receiver with a big name in N’Keal Harry. The Arizona State product is in line to be their starter outside and gives them a true big-bodied target that they have needed for years.

If there is any knock on Harry, it’s his limited route tree. He survived on bubble screens and short passes with the Sun Devils, but lands with the perfect team to help him develop into a Pro Bowl type of player. That selection would have been the steal of the draft had they not robbed the draft three times in the third round.

First, it was Chase Winovich, who was more productive than his teammate Rashan Gary — who went No. 12 overall due in large part to projection. After Winovich, they took Damien Harris from Alabama. All eyes were on Josh Jacobs, who went in the first, but Harris was just as productive for the Crimson Tide and could be a stellar NFL player.

Yet, it was the last pick in that round that really surprised me. Yodny Cajuste is one of the better tackle prospects in the draft and New England stole him at pick No. 101. Yes, he suffered a quad injury while training, but he’s already rehabbing that and likely will miss no time.

New England lost two offensive tackles in free agency — one who made some insane money. The Patriots will replace them with Isaiah Wynn, who is coming back after being injured as a rookie and this third-round selection. Not only that, but they likely won’t miss a beat in doing so.
