DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION **The Official Day 1 Patriots Draft Thread**

what a f#cking joke...this sucks, unless they get Jordan somehow....
 
I like the pick ... Matt Light gets a 2 year contract ... 2nd year an option for the team.
 
LETS NOT SUCK.

oh comeon we cant get a fcking draft without a reach or bust?
 
So does Cam Jordan have a knee injury we don't know about, he's dropping like a stone
 
Championship teams are built from the trenches out. I look for either 28 or 33 to be spent by the Patriots on a DE/DL.
 
Maybe they'll move up to take a DE or OLB. Wouldn't be surprised if they are targeting Wilkerson.
 
Binky checklist: wow they drafted one.
 
Not all that surprised by Solder. Vollmer wasn't even invited to the combine and was an all pro by his second season. I honestly liked Solder more than Carimi and Castonzo. He is a Vollmer for the left side, Dante will have him starting this year at LT.
 
I just hope once we get him coached up he plays better than those clips Mayock showed of him getting bullrushed because he was too upright...
 
Could have probably gotten Solder at 28.
Another missed opportunity to get an impact player on D.
UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Pats obviously like Solder better than Costanzo. Dante worked out all the linemen himself, so if he likes Solder, I'll put my faith in Dante and BB picking the right franchise LT to protect Brady.
 
I'm pretty sure the Colts wanted Solder too. I can just see the Manning face now
 
WOW Ingram to the Giants, that might work up there
 
Yeah, let's all act as if the OL wasn't a troublesome area on the team going forward. While we're at it, let's pretend we just got some stiff that no one has ever heard of. Let's cry because they took a tackle, and tackles can't sack QBs or intercept passes, so they're boring and you can't go to bed tonight imagining what an exciting player he'll be.

This board is insufferable on draft day, jesus...
 
Solder is a spectacular athlete with spectacular size -- the absolute Pats physical prototype. The reason I didn't expect him at #17 is that his technique is very raw...but look at what Dante did with Vollmer, seemingly overnight. I don't hate the pick.
 
We always knew that Best Tackle Available was a possibility for months. Most judged that Costanzo was Belichick's choice. Solder is certainly a fine choice. Obviously, many of us would have preferred Amukamara or Jordan. But if we need a LT for 2011 or 2012, then we do.
