NFL Draft: Day 2, Rounds 2-3 Thread

[Gronkowski123]

what did we get in exchange? espn wont show the details.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

Honestly, is anyone shocked? Bill always trades back in the draft.

 

[manxman2601]

We now have 3 sixth round picks and 3 fours.

Big fan of Trai

Patriots trade the pick to Jacksonville. Patriots receive 105 and 179 from Jax for 93.

Good night y'all

 

[Sfpat]

now we have 3 fourth rounders, good job Bill.

Explain why 3 fourth rounders is better than 1 third and 2 fourths?

 

[DefenseRules]

This has been a very strange draft IMO.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Apparently the Pats had enough players left on their board that they were willing to trade down to 105.

 

[DaBruinz]

49ers trade 94 to the Browns

 

[Wilfork#75]

Jeez, San Fran still has 2 picks left in this round!

Edit: Spoke too soon lol

 

[BennyBledsoe]

Our draft haul so far: a defensive lineman with two surgically repaired knees and a backup QB. FFS.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

PAtriots 3rd round picks have been horrible lately, they trade back for value!!

From a 2000 NFL draft profile:

Tom Brady Positives: Good height to see the field. Very poised and composed. Smart and alert. Can read coverages. Good accuracy and touch. Produces in big spots and in big games. Has some Brian Griese in him and is a gamer. Generally plays within himself. Team leader.

Negatives: Poor build. Very skinny and narrow. Ended the '99 season weighing 195 pounds and still looks like a rail at 211. Looks a little frail and lacks great physical stature and strength. Can get pushed down more easily than you'd like. Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush. Lacks a really strong arm. Can't drive the ball down the field and does not throw a really tight spiral. System-type player who can get exposed if he must ad-lib and do things on his own.

You can rationalize this any way you like, but it seems foolish to make things up when people on this board know you're talking out of your ass.

Is that what you THINK Brady is...THAT?...are you magically going to come up 3.5 more inches, an over the top throwing motion, a bigger frame and longer arm?

Here's what we can do...I say this bust is just that...another Chad Jackson screwup in the 2nd round...YOU can bang your pom poms all day and night for the next few years until this Clausen clone is gone.

There is our trade down, no shocker.

Because we also have a 6th now, in a deep draft. Read the article about NFL draft valuation and trading down in drafts, might give you some idea why Belichick's been so successful despite all his foolish trades over the years.

 

[BobDigital]

Well i hope we have more than 1 pick tomorrow. unlike the past few days.

move back 12 picks to get an extra pick (early 6th)

 

[Dillon46]

I guess this draft wasnt as good as described

 

[Wilfork#75]

We now have 3 sixth round picks and 3 fours.

I think we trade back from 130 for a 5th and another 6th

 

[DaBruinz]

Browns select Terrence West - RB
