DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION The Official 2015 NFL Draft Rounds 2-3 Thread

[Patriot Missile]

We're moving on to pick 96

A really smart special teams player in the second round. Awesome, I guess.

 

[Big-T]

They should have announced his position at gunner and not safety, too slow to cover and too small to play SS. Maybe we can get a long snapper in the next round.

5'11" 211lbs is NOT too small to play SS at all. Where the hell are people getting this "too small" crap from?

 

[Skree]

I am just drained. I was so happy seeing all those LBs, tackles, and crappy corners going through the whole round. Every pick seemed to be working in the Pats favor. Closer and closer we got and I was so excited. We could have gone in so many directions with all those great players still out there.

And then Bill does that

YOU HAVE TO TRUST HIM!!!

Was Chung known for his smarts coming out of college?

Yes

 

[ashley]

Cann really looks like someone we could have used

 

[sevengables_2207]

A.J. Cann to the Jags..

 

[scott99]

Glad I didn't watch the draft tonight, what a ****ty, but typical ****ed up huge reach and waste of a 2nd round pick. The Patriots 2nd round should be known as the "Patriots throw away a high draft slot, take a ****ty DB round". If I had seen it live I'd be in the market for a new TV. People made fun of the Colt's pick last night, well this takes the cake. Couldn't have made a worst pick if you tried to do it on purpose, lol.

Tavon Wilson 2.0

Not exactly, at least espn had some tape on Richards

This is the price you pay for having BB as your coach. His ego is huge. He knows he can get him later... he has to know... I would keep BB as my coach but these picks are bad period. No defense.

His ego is not so huge that he will intentionally sabotage his team to massage it.

 

[VrabelJr]

I remember getting laughed out of the draft forum when I said we would take an LB or Safety with one of our top two picks.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Bottom Line
A limited, run-support safety whose coverage issues could be an issue for NFL teams looking for diverse safety play. He's a willing tackler who plays with range in run support, but Richards' lack of instincts and ability to stick receivers in space could limit his NFL opportunities.


Cann was needed...not him

Thank god we got Brown to offset this awful pick

 

[Froob]

211 is a fairly big safety. Hmm..

 

[manxman2601]

I wonder if we'll take La'el Collins at 96 or 97.

As for Richards, that has to mean cover or a form of Tampa-2. It's a good way to compensate for the CB weaknesses.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Steve Gregory 2.0

 

[Jimke]

.Belichick does not trust his scouts to tell him in what round a player should be drafted. Only if they
can make the team or not. This is why 6th round draft picks are picked in the 2nd round.

 

[Dillon46]

Hopefully he can at least contribute on special teams.

Why do we always say that with our 2nd rounders?

 

[Wheelman]

The nfl network blows. Dude is a bit a of reach...and straight to ad. ESPN at least gave some good information about him.

 

[shmessy]

Not exactly, at least espn had some tape on Richards

But was it the guy who played Kramer on Seinfeld?

 

[Patriot Missile]

Now that AJ Cann is gone they can draft Shaq Mason with 96. Yeah it's too bad he will be overdrafted by two drafts but so what at this point.
