The 6'2", 220lbs Corral had a bit of buzz around him leading up to last year's draft, with some projections putting him into the 2nd Rd. But having never picked up a Patriots playbook before some point today, it's unlikely Corral will crack the opening day roster for New England.

In total, 21 Patriots draft selections have been cut since '19, while three more are currently on the team's practice squad and a pair are on IR. The final tally - 11 of New England's 38 picks from 2019-22 have a role on this year's team.

Whatever actually went down, Betts has continued to shine in La La Land, while his club competes for a World Series year in and year out. Meanwhile back in Boston, it's all about the future and hoping that one day we might get another player like Mookie.

Normally, the deeper you go into the rounds, the less defined roles become. But that's not the case with the Pats this summer. New England's 2023 Draft Class is already drawing some rave reviews, and could prove to be one of the team's deepest classes in years.

His full 2023 projections look like this when extrapolated over 162 games - 153 games, 159 hits (.273 avg), 35 doubles, 89 runs, 38 homeruns, 110 RBI. Is that good enough for the price tag?

Per FanGraphs, Boston has just a 15.8% chance of making the playoffs, a number that was in the single digits entering the series in the Bronx (9.8%).

Last season, the Patriots averaged 21.4 points per game. Do you expect that number to increase this year?

Will Elliott have a Corey Dillon-type impact at the position for this year's team? Of course not. But I'm choosing to believe, or maybe it's just my relentless Pats bias, that there's enough left in Zeke's tank for Bill O'Brien to make use of.

The Red Sox play their best baseball while wearing yellow. So, do the yellow threads need to stay?

For Chaim Bloom, it's probably still too early to make a call. While the temptation of having each of the players under cheap control on a year-to-year basis is enticing to the penny pinching Sox, isn't this whole thing about building sustainability for the future? Seems like locking up your young talent might be a path to getting there.
