Unless your OL3 or CB 3 is the next highest graded prospect. It's all about how you have them valued/graded.I think that depends upon how the board falls on draft night. If the top 2 OL and CB’s are gone at 14 then I wouldn’t take the 3rd best at either position.
Just a session similar to grilling a QB on a chalkboard. They'll ask him some questions on his game. Ask him to explain some concepts/coverages he'll likely face. How he'll adjust to life as a pro (famous person with money) **** like that.I agree. The tweet is a little odd though. Learning the offense with BOB already?
That’s what I usually imagine but the phrasing seems different here. Seems to imply he is spending an entire day there starting super early and getting the playbook. That could just be a bit of creative journalism though.Just a session similar to grilling a QB on a chalkboard. They'll ask him some questions on his game.

I love Smith's game but we already have an undersized pass rusher in Uche and LB are the new RB. Value isn't there in their 1st. There's like 5 that really matter.

I bet this is the case. Belichick did the same with Harry according to the article. He's whiffed on WR that couldn't learn the offense too many times. It's probably standard protocol for anyone he is considering with a 1st round pick.That’s what I usually imagine but the phrasing seems different here.

Some of the tackles ranked 3rd and 4th and even 5th are considered to be better by some than the top 2.I think that depends upon how the board falls on draft night. If the top 2 OL and CB’s are gone at 14 then I wouldn’t take the 3rd best at either position. So we really need to see who is actually there when they pick to make the best decision.
Unless Paris or Broderick are there at 14 I like Blake Freeland and Tyler Steen as much or more than any other OT in the draft.Some of the tackles ranked 3rd and 4th and even 5th are considered to be better by some than the top 2.
Darnell Wright, Skoronski, Bergeron, Dawand Jones. All 4 of these guys have their advocates after Broderick Jones and Paris Johnson. Personally I like Anton Harrison a lot as well. I expect all 7 of these players will be gone before our 2nd round pick.
I would take 4 of them (BJones, Johnson, Wright, Skoronski) with our #14 unless a CB or DE drops that the coaches love (Tyree Wilson, Gonzalez, Witherspoon or Porter).
I have a long short list for who would be worthy of #14.
I hope we don't trade down, and if we do, I hope it's only for one of the 7 players on my shortlist (4 tackles, 3 CBs).
NOTE: I may exit out of my draft obsession because I had a dream last night that, at Bill O'Brien's recommendation, the Patriots traded up to #9 and took Alabama TE Cameron Latu.

My problem with Flowers is that he's smaller and/or slower than every WR taken this high in the draft in the last several years.I still want Flowers in the first, especially after seeing comparisons to Antonio Brown, without the insanity. But I expect them to trade down. I can only think of a few times where they took the player. Wanted in the first round. Wilfork, which was as lucky as it gets, Mayo, and Hightower. Other than that I think I have missed every year, and I didn’t expect them to get Wilfork, it was just the player I wanted the most, and I couldn’t believe it when Minnesota took Kenechi Udeze right ahead of him. I’m pretty sure they ran the Wilfork pick in.
LOL. I know how you feelSome of the tackles ranked 3rd and 4th and even 5th are considered to be better by some than the top 2.

Yes, Belichick does extremely well drafting defensive players in the top 20.My problem with Flowers is that he's smaller and/or slower than every WR taken this high in the draft in the last several years.
He could be like Antonio Brown. Or perhaps not. He could be a bust like over 50% of the receivers taken in the 1st 2 rounds of the legendary NKeal Harry draft. We reel off the names of Metcalf, Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown and Marquise Brown, but seem to neglect that there were another 5 guys taken in the first 2 rounds who busted.
It's a 50/50 shot with Flowers.
Belichick's history picking in the top half or top 20 is incredibly good, HOFers, All-Pros and Pro Bowlers, Ty Warren, Wilfork, Mayo, Seymour, Chandler Jones, Hightower, only Maroney was underwhelming.
I feel as though we'd be drafting a 50/50 player at a very high draft position where we usually find a sure thing.
Q1) Do you think that we should consider any CB at 14 (or even with a small trade down) other than Gonzo or Witherspoon?I love Smith's game but we already have an undersized pass rusher in Uche and LB are the new RB. Value isn't there in there 1st. There's like 5 that really matter.

certainly four blue chippers at positions of need2 cbs Witherspoon and Gonzales
2 ot’s Jones and Johnson.
Those two positions and 4 players is what I like at 14. If they decide to draft those positions and those 4 aren’t available then I would hope for a trade back, ala Wright, Porter etc.
There are other players I like at 14 but I hate when teams draft out of need when there are better players available.
