2016 Draft Day 3: Rounds 4-7 Thread

A 6th round RB (Collins, Taylor, Reynolds) and a 6th round MLB (Daniels/Matakevich) could actually make the team and contribute. By the end of the draft we could have 5-6 impact rookies + the yearly UDFA. I'll take it.

Does forfeiting the higher draft pick in the round apply to next year's 4th as well or was it just this year's first????

Applies next year too.

There goes Reader. I figured with Valentine we wouldn't take another big DT, but I preferred Reader's tape against the run. He's a big fella.

Yes, it does, but the likelihood of either team crapping the bed is not high.

I don't know if we'll ever see a Vereen/Ridley type draft again under Belichick. RB in the low rounds/UDFA is the most likely scneario imo.

I think we would pick a RB early if they consider him a true three-down threat. Maroney didn't succeed how we wanted, but he was viewed that way. We know Belichick's view on Stephen Jackson. They've been snooping big, elusive backs in pre-draft work the last two years. I think they would have taken Todd Gurley had he fallen to 32 last year. All of this year's guys seem to have enough warts to make it not worth an early pick for them.

Did they have 2 5th's?

We had to make two trades to get that 4th.

It's like the Seahawks gave us ten dollars, but the most we could spend is 8.50.

I wanted them to use that pick on a RB but turning two 6ths and a 7th into a fourth is a feat on the value chart. All 196, 204, and 225 add up to is about 25 points, which is a high 6th, and Belichick turned it into a 4th.

Yup.

That's because those picks were almost worthless as trade value goes.

I kinda like how they drafted a WR who doesn't drop the deep ball after drafting a QB who can't throw one.
Malcolm Mitchell Perfectly Fits Patriots’ Needs At Wide Receiver

Great pick by Seattle. Good fit.

Yeah, it could be a mid to high fourth if both the Patriots and Seahawks miss the playoffs next year.

Even then, we get the worst pick of the two.

Might have to tweak your value chart under those circumstances.

Not only did he he get the 4th but he also moved up 25 spots in the 7th.

A high fifth round pick this year is worthless, but an almost certain bottom 4th next year is gold? Really?

Seahawks get Alex Collins

Browns get Rashard Higgins, their 4th WR. Also drafted an athletic TE.

You mean the worthless 7th?

Son of a b****!!! Seattle took Prosise AND Collins.... Ugh!

Any good RBs left?

For the 6th round the earliest pick for NE is 33.

Lol, CBS' little blurb on the Higgins pick...

"A fifth receiver for Cleveland? Good player at this point in Round 5, but seriously a fifth WR?"
