Who do you WANT/EXPECT the Pats to draft in the first round? [read post before voting]

[Joker]

we're trading down...and taking a safety..Brian Branch from Alabama...6 foot..190...4.55 speed...yup, BB will waste zero seconds making this pick in the 1st round...after that we'll take the fifth rated WR on the board because...well that's what we always do in the 2nd round

Brian Branch is an absolute baller. I agree that his 40 was disappointing, and he does show some long speed issues, but laterally and in short area? He moves quick and hits like a brick. I’d have no problem drafting him at the bottom of the first rd. If we scoop up some solid day 2 picks out of it, even better. He’s that DB that we can put on TE’s, RB’s etc that won’t be a detriment to the run game. I like the player in that bottom 1st-top 2nd a lot. I just don’t know if you need him. You’ve got Duggar, Phillips, Mills, and Peppers all returning. Injuries do happen, as we saw last year but, he would be a great matchup piece. The way he can navigate through trash, picks, and crossers meant to slow a guy down is a thing of beauty.

What your thoughts on WR: Quentin Johnson?

slow as molasses and not quick. 3 cone shuttle 7.31. That is all you need to know.
I hope they do not pick him period.

I voted RLKAG because you omitted my real expectation: trade down out of first round.

also, where’s the vote for QB?

 

[InRodWeRust]

I think they will trade down. If by some miracle they don't then I think they will draft a DL just because they always draft a position you wouldn't expect. I'd like to see them draft a LT though.

Staying pat and taking Paris Johnson or Broderick Jones is fine by me...but I think the Pats' brass trades down and takes a TE in the late first....Darnell Washington...then trade back up in the early 2nd to take Darnell Wright....

Yes, I am calling a double Darnell dip!!!

Double Darnell?? Darn you Hyped.

 

[Pape]

I voted OT ... Most likely the guy from North Western Peter Skoronski

I want them to trade back and pick up a future 1 ... But I fear 14 isn't desirable a position to make that happen... If not I would like a quality Edge/De/Lb to pair with Barmore and Judon...

The thought behind that is simple - I don't think any afce team has a great oline... A potent attack at the line will help the back field and mitigate the QB advantage the other teams in the division have

If that happens, draft Rhamondre Stevenson first overall in your fantast draft, because he's walking in on the goal line behind those two (and Onwenu) every time.

 

[Real fan 02]

I want a WR but it will not happen

I'm more confident in a top CB at #14 than a WR... for this team..

 

[Ivan]

I voted CB, but only because it has the ost first round talent at the position. I want Bijan Robinson, but I think he will be gone. But ultimately I think they will trade down.

 

[Love The Drake]

If Gonzalez is there he has to be the pick.
I’m warming up to the idea of Robinson at 14.
But what does that mean for Stevenson?
I have to think the most likely move is a trade down for more assets and or players or a move up for a blue chip prospect on defense or QB.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

320 lb athletes don't grow on trees, so if there's an OT you like, I think you have to take him. I am not up on combine results and college tapes so I don't have names.

 

[Ross12]

I think they're in on some WR trades, specifically Jeudy, but if the Broncos won't bite then they may take one of the top WRs at 14. If a trade partner does bite then they'll look at tackle or corner. Maybe defensive line if someone falls.

JNS will be long gone by 14. There are no other WRs worth taking that high. If they want Addison they should trade back

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

The talent gap between Pats and other 3 teams in the division is so wide that
No matter what happens in draft we are still looking at a fourth place non playoff team.
Focus should be on building foundational key pieces at critical positions OT, cb, DL

I do not think they should take Addison in first roound

Have to disagree there: the year we drafted N Harry I wanted A.J. Brown last year we Reached for T Thornton I wanted George Pickens. This year I think Jordan Addison is a safe First Round pick that fills a Big need a playmaking WR.

Hope WE are not the Team that Reaches for a Slot WR in the First Round. IF we want a Slot with outside potential Draft Charlie Jones from Purdue in the Third or Fourth Round.

 

[TheRainMaker]

After yesterday's trade, I expect a big move Thursday night.

Or BB will have to Coach for Four more years to catch Shula. I don't see Ten wins on that schedule unless the stars are aligned.
