OFFICIAL First Round Draft Discussion Thread

What a crappy night for Boston sports. Celtics knocked out of playoffs, Sox lose, and the Pats are shut out of the first round of the draft. Hopefully, the Pats will dazzle us with their picks the next few days, but going on past experience, I'm sure there will be some head scratchers.

The DTs falling is great for us.

That was my worry.

Good point by @PhilAPerry, just 2 interior DL taken so far. In a draft deep at that position, could mean talent left for Pats at 60/61.

Match up with the Raiders D then come see me. That's going to be a massive issue if a) TB IS suspended and misses 4 and they somehow miss HF by a game and b) no run game. I mean a real honest to goodness run game.

If either of those 2 are true, the Pats will have serious troubles. And I mean serious.

Yes, I don't think there has been a better player coming out in awhile that is better suited for that match up.

So, who are the bad picks/reaches so far?

One I question is texans taking Fuller over Treadwell.

Can always count on Jerry.

Tantalizing talent, but the injury concerns seems legit.

Sure are. But as I understand it, it's a worry about a second contract, not the next five years.

Makes sense. Teams that are built with rosters ready to compete for a 4-5 year window will take a long look at him.

Reach.

I read this as "Monty" Burns at first glance.
