Again, I wanted to Nakobe Dean, I'm not saying this is the best pick, but I don't think it is the worst. I mean this is not Belichick picking a 3rd round guard at the bottom of the 1st round bad.

Oh I don’t think it is a bad pick at all. I love solid depth especially in the trenches. Its where we picked though.
It is the thought that we could have dealt Payne for picks, made Settle a starter, and used the 2nd round pick elsewhere. We would be better off. It is like someone said, they seem to be making it up as they go along.
