He can play tackle in a pinch, and probably better than Marcus Cannon, though he's best suited for guard. It's the kind of versatility Belichick values. My assumption the linemen will be
C: Stork, Andrews
G: Mason, Jackson, Cooper/Kline, Thuney
T: Solder, Vollmer, Waddle/Later Pick
9 seems reasonable. Cooper's also a possible backup at center, which means Andrews' roster spot could be in jeopardy. It's not like any of these guys are superstars.
Deep? Did you see them play last year? It's a mile wide and an inch deep.
Good luck with that. would you give up a 4th for him?
You mean when they were rookies and injured? Not to mention that they had coaching issues... but yeah. Let's hold that against them..
Good talk Russ.Some things I noticed:
1. Versatile
2. High IQ
3. Fast
Not sure where he fits, other than them maybe not sure with Tre Jackson's leg or Stork's concussion issues? Slightly surprising, even thought I thought OL was a need early.
I trust Scar and BB here.
One note: Apparently, he's mastered the Rubik's Cube. I am not joking. He can solve it quick, repeatedly, which leads me to believe he has an ability to see patterns and react quickly.
15 (78) New England Patriots: Joe Thuney | Grade: A
(Pick acquired in trade with New Orleans Saints)
One of our favorite players, Thuney was a top-20 guard in 2014 and our No. 5 graded offensive tackle in 2015. He’s more likely a guard at the next level, but he’s shown that he’s more than capable of playing all over the line, using his strong hands to lock onto blocks in the run game (+24.1 run grade ranked fourth in the class). Thuney adds even more versatility to the Patriots offensive line.
everybody has cannon cut but the team!
.His $3.4m salary next year is not justified. With that said I'm in the minority that believes Scar can get him to play at the same level he did when Vollmer went down in 2013. At present, his play in 2014 and 2015 do not justify the salary.
.
I hear you loud and clear and I agree wholeheartedly but wouldn't they have cut him by now? or is there a reason to keep him tagging along?
Guessing but I think they wanted to see what they hauled in via the draft before potentially cutting him.
On the other hand maybe they want him to re-do his deal and stay as he did well under Scar?
Maybe he can get Kraft's ring back from Putin39 Wonderlic. Graduate student in International Studies.
Can help with foreign policy?
On a football note not sure where they will play the lad. Seems like a safety pick.
