I don't follow college football really, so naturally I don't know much about him, but that guy looks like one mean, bad m**********er.

Put him in there with Judon, Uche, Baramore, oooowwweeee yeaaaaw!!!

Jeremiah had Whie rated as the #28th best prospect, and we needed a DE.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

I absolutely love this luck!!! Plays like a 5 technique.

AWESOME pick

Keion v Broderick Jones

[PaulThePat]

Was one of 17 players invited to the draft i.e. the NFL must have thought he was going in the first. Suggests a fringe 1st round talent in R2.

The more I think about this draft a great D will keep the Pats from playing from behind all the time, which will benefit the Offense..
Expect today's rounds to be focused on O players and specialists..

Love the pick too our Defense on paper won't be playing against Back up QB's this time around.

That used to be called "defense wins championships" and the Pats are loading up.

I can’t remember who it was because I was half asleep, but at the end of the ESPN broadcast one of the talking heads said White was one of his favorite picks of day 2.

Keion v Broderick Jones

combine

What a monster in that lower youtube video. He is scary. 285 pounds, super strong, runs a 4.7 40, faster than some of the safeties.

He is going to need to learn to set the edge but I think he can do that.

 

[State]

Wow. Almost Cole Strange stellar.

 

[Ian]

Starting some player threads to individually discuss each guy.

You play from behind when you don't score points which is what last season was. If not for the defense they would've been blown out last season many games

Yup. The issue is defenses get demoralized when they play their ass off all game and the offense is still not doing anything. Then one bad break and the game becomes insourmountable. Happened to the 2016 Broncos all year the season after they won the Super Bowl with that great defense. Every once and awhile a truly special historic defense can make that grind. But it's just too much to ask most.

Either or does not make much difference.. with the advent of Rodgers, the emergence of Tua/Waddle/Hill + Josh Allen you will need a kick ass D in those 6 games..

I believe he had 30 bench press reps at the combine. Really strong.

I think he’s known for being good at setting the edge, I thought I read that somewhere.

While rewatching the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl, they always scroll Jeremiah’s top 50 or something, at one point I saw him at I think 7, may be wrong, but was definitely top 10, I wonder what happened to make him drop ?
