Mike Reiss ?@MikeReiss 1m1 minute ago
Patriots select Stanford DB Jordan Richards with second-round pick. 5-foot-10 3/4, 211 pounds. Played safety. Known for smarts. #NEPick

 

[JMC00]

lol

 

[VrabelJr]

Gonna withhold criticism until three years from now so I don't get Deus Irae'ed lolololol

 

[Froob]

Is he short...? Oh he's a safety...huh okay. Odd pick with Harmon on board.

 

[DefenseRules]

I called it...didn't I say the 2nd round is the WTF moment of the draft? I know our BB so well. LOL

 

[Kdo5]

Oh boy. Lol. I won't pretend to know anything about the guy but seems like a questionable pick at best. Help at ST is all well and good but really? I'm not pissed or anything, this type of thing isn't exactly shocking with Bill.

 

[sevengables_2207]

I should have known... lol.

 

[VectorPrime]

This is stupid as s**t

 

[ashley]

Kiper seems to like him for what that's worth

 

[JPsPats]

Can he rush the passer?

 

[Sfpat]

Ali Marpet says "hey"

There were many mocks with Marpet on the 2nd round. I didn't see any with Richards anywhere close to the 2nd

 

[IcyPatriot]

ehhh ... team captain

If we were going for a smart, hard hitting SS Ibraheim Campbell is a lot better than Richards, but would still be a bit of a reach.

 

[Ross12]

Richards looks good on tape, smart guy from Stanford. 3 straight years Pac12 academic all American. I'm ok with it.

 

[Big-T]

Do you folk really think Belichick would ignore the OL if he, Scar and Goog thought the ones available were worth being picked in that spot?

 

[Joey007]

Well ESPN is praising the guy. I liked what I heard.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

i HOPE they address OL here soon...

 

[manxman2601]

Manx any thoughts on this pick?

No sorry. I only had one safety that I spent any time on. Didn't really think it was a need.

Time to be strong and keep an open mind. I ended up loving the Harmon pick so fingers crossed...

Patriots take a safety that is “limited athletically” and @MoveTheSticks says came off the board 2 rounds early. I’ve seen this story before

Yeah we have. Neither of them have met expectations thus far. I hate this pick.

 

[Joker]

I hated the Logan Mankins pick more than this one if I recall...
