DeMarcus Covington was the D Coordinator in the Senior Bowl for the American Team which had Mapu.

Mapu is listed at 6'3 217 lbs. That's why people are talking about him as safety. This is usually way too light for a Patriots linebacker. Unless BB is turning over a new leaf?Mapu is clearly a linebacker.
I know of no 245 pound safeties, so why are people comparing him to Chung?
Just saw it - greatest pick announcement ever.JASON LMFAO
He just clowned Mahomes and then **** on KC barbecue immediately after. Dude is gonna get shot on stage
They struggled to score. The offense was and is pathetic. Not one lineman after they signed all those retreadsNobody wants to give him a medal, it's just there are green shoots of sanity. But man are we on a defensive kick tonight. But it really feels like "they don't cross the line of scrimmage. You blitz all night. Let's make them remember forever the night they played the Titans I mean the Patriots." As in, fuggit, in this division, everybody's zigging, let's zag for a year and become a truly feared D while we figure out things on offense like who's playing T and whether either of the young QBs is good.

You're right. I forgot McCourty had a twin who played with the Titans and then came to play with the Patriots. It was like seeing double. LOL.Your kidding right? He doesn't look familiar at all? Doubly maybe?
Bill gave us false hope in round 1. Terrible pick here.
Im fine with the CB in rd 1, thats not the issue. The reach for the hybrid LB/S is the issue.And there wasn't a #1 WR available today in the draft. Making the D dominant is better than drafting a WR who is redundant (at best) to what you already have.
Taking a chance on a WR yesterday over the stud CB is the argument, I guess. Give me the CB.
Yeah forget about replacing sucky players and focus on guys who you anticipate leavingDon‘t forget Dugger is a free agent next year and likely will command top safety money. So may have just drafted his replacement when he leaves next year.
BB used to like safety in the box to blitz and cover TE/RBs.Mapu is listed at 6'3 216 lbs. That's why people are talking about him as safety. This is usually way too light for a Patriots linebacker. Unless BB is turning over a new leaf?
yupWhere the hell are you getting 240 pounds? He’s 220 soaking wet
The "lighter" part is the problem but we'll see. I like him, will have to see how it goes.Love some of these clips of of Marte Mapu - so fast and strong. Not to compare but he's same height and a bit lighter than Micah Parsons..
