They need players at just about every position except QB and DL. They need WRs, OL, LBs and Secodary. But at that point in the draft there were several super quality players left. They have gone DL on three of their last 5 1st rounders and TE on the others. All the while their secondary has been super suspect and their LBs were too last year. I figured Belichek thinks he can win with lesser talent on defense so I went offense. That left a couple options. Holmes was the obvious one to me at first. I mean they need WRs like air at this point but then I started thinking about what we all say about 1st round WRs. They end up busts mostly. Belichek is a smart guy and a guy who also thinks he's smart. I think he'd avoid a WR in the 1st just based on the principle that they are busts. That left White since he was probably the most significant player left. Dillion is older and sucked last year. White scores TDs like a machine. They can grab a WR later.
This is all based on what I think THEY would do. Personally I would draft for the Secondary needs or Holmes. Holmes is probably the best all around WR in the draft. It was hard for me to pass on him from MY perspective but I am not picking from my perspective.
