And the 4-3 over uses a NT. The Vikings used that for years with The 2 Williams on the inside. One at NT and the other at UT.

Daly was DL coach in Vikings when they had the Williams wall, if he can create that here, i'll gladly take it !

The point is I don't think BB is infallible anymore. Each Pats team that hasn't won the SB had been for the same reasons. BB never fixes the problem. The one year he did, the Pats won the super bowl against the Seahawks.
I know that sounds spoiled as the Pats compete every year but they should win more.
Also BB has forgotten more about football than I will ever know but as a fan I notice similarities in each team that loses: can't run the ball, can't pass block, stink on third downs, no big play fast WR.
I don't see how drafting a QB and a bad DT help with any of that.

What problems has BB not addressed?
Seriously, you're whining as if you're clairvoyant and can see the future and know that all the moves aren't going to pan out.

BTW, since you joined late, the Pats won 3 SBs without a " big play fast WR".

Will be taking a look at him over the next few days. FWIW, on the network we don't speak of, Todd McShay was quite impressed with him. Gave him a 3rd-4th grade and said he was more impressive than Maliek Collins.

Did McShay say the same thing about Ron Brace (may he RIP)?

That I can't help you with.

Most war rooms are full of people in suits. Belichick, on the other hand, wears a sweatshirt telling you what school he's going to draft from when he trades up into the fifth tomorrow.

Patriots Draft Room: Cyrus Jones

Usually BB does wear a suit but b/c of idiot taking away the 1st rounder he decided to go casual.

Valentine is saying all the right things

Versatility is calling card of new DL Vincent Valentine

Supposedly has played different positions on th DL and is willing to do what the team wants him to do.

Why does the patriots front office hate drafting offensive playmakers early? Gronk is the one exception. We should try it more often. Too much defense and average O line and garbage QBs

Chad Jackson Lawrence maroney Aaron Dobson

Brady was picked in round 6

Exactly but comparing his situation and Brisetts situation is like comparing apples and oranges

mosi's man · Apr 30, 2016

We see the ancillary impact of the commissioners penalty. The Pats lost more than a first rounder this year and a fourth rounder next: the Pats lost a first rounder, a third (do they take a qb if Brady's not suspended?) as well as a spot on the 53 that would otherwise go to a different depth player. That's a huge hit to take and it's manifesting itself in a bunch of different ways. Makes me hate Goodall even more every time I see him hugging some former player.

BTW, did you see him announce Fujita? I think Scott is too smart to give the douchebag a big smile and a hug.

BB must have really liked Brissett at the Senior Bowl practices.

The Valentine pick looks like they took a flyer on a project. Daly must have liked him and maybe he got a pass because of the injuries in his junior year.

If he can give them what Akiem Hicks did last year it'll be a great pick.

Valentine is a more refined player than a project. Providing he has a good camp he'll be part of the d-line rotation Week 1 playing 20 or so snaps a game.

I think he's more of an Alan Branch / Terence Knight on replacement, honestly.

I agree. He's more of that body type and that type of game.

If he can penetrate just a little like Hicks, it'll be a nice plus.

So basically, we drafted Ellis Hobbs, Rohan Davey, and Ron Brace

I hope Thuney works out

Best tape i could find so far on FF7 (that is now his nickname)

Lol, is this a higlights or a downlights? The guy got totally manhandled. You see a guy is questionable to say the least when almost all the plays in the video were successfully executed by the other team. Right now it doesnt look like this guy will make the roster, and it's a 3rd rounder. Oh lord, lets wait.

He had ankle and leg issues last year. Just have to see....

I saw some highlights of Valentin destroying people

He has a very powerful bullrush. How often he uses it well I don't know.

Edit: Can you go back to the politics forum please. I've agreed with you about five times and it's unnerving

Big Bucks · Apr 30, 2016

I love the fact BB picks players that he feels fit his system rather than players judged and put in order that fit the stereotype for that position. I swear mocks are written up off the first mock and basically everyone is sheep and lazy and mocks therefore become like Chinese whispers that they all start from the one mock but there are variants the nearer to the draft you get.

I just read we would of drafted Jaylon Smith if the Cowboys didnt wtf.
Should of traded up.
