Patriots cut Yodny Cajuste, closing the book on their disappointing 2019 10-player draft class

When the Patriots waived offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste Thursday, it closed the book on their 10-player 2019 draft class.

Cajuste, who signed his tender in March, was the last remaining player from the group, a third-round pick and No. 101 overall. Cutting him saved the team approximately $2.7 million in salary-cap space.

The Patriots’ top three picks in 2019, receiver N’Keal Harry (first round, 32d overall), cornerback Joejuan Williams (second round, 45th overall), and linebacker Chase Winovich (third round, 77th overall) had underwhelming stays in New England.

A hulking presence at 6 feet 4 inches and 225 pounds, Harry did not show the kind of physical dominance he displayed in college.
