Lions trade LB Kyle Van Noy (& 7th) to Patriots for 6th round draft pick

[DaBruinz]

3rd season.... 1 career sack

Different coaching staff this year..

 

[The Boston Patriot]

Google Marissa Powell, Miss Utah

OK! I approve.

From the Lions board on Scouts.com:
And, from an earlier thread there (I think someone referred to this):

It's funny that the post from the Lions message board says that KVN can't do any of the things that he excelled at in college..

Like we should put any credence in some random message board poster from another teams message board..

I meant weight.

I think at 1 point in Cleveland he was around 215lbs. Thats wayyyy to small to play LB.

Who are you referring to?

 

[ohiopatsfan]

It sounds like Azo is referring to Barktevious Mingo. I also think BB may have at least one more trade left to do, possibly a big one.

He will be a steal in retrospect! Mark my words. Hopefully he can be a Deandre Levy type player eventually.

AWESOME!!!




Who's Deandre Levy?

 

[Uptown]

AWESOME!!!

Just peep the statistics young grasshopper

DeAndre Levy

His wife is reason enough to have him on the team.

Derby has a hot wife as well.

I guess we broke even in that department.

I dont think he has the size.

I guess it all depends on the role that BB envisions KVN to play. People here maybe shouldn't expect Ayers, Hicks level or involvement but more along the lines of Jonathan Casillas.

It's more likely than not that Bill Belichick convinced Van Noy to play poorly week 7 paving the way for the trade. #tankgate

Mingo was 227lbs in January when the season was done for Cleveland.. During the off-season, he went on a nearly 6,000 Calorie diet and put on 20 lbs.. Who knows where he is at now.. But the guy is jacked..

LB health has been problematic this year:

• Hightower -- great player who keeps getting dinged up
• Collins -- great player who keeps getting dinged up
• Freeny -- IR
• Roberts -- dinged up in his breakout game
• McClellin -- can't get/stay on the field

I don't think BB has fixed ideas right now for what roles guys will fill. He probably wants multiple candidates in the hope that SOMEBODY will be both effective and healthy.

She ain't bad...but I wouldn't put them in the same class. No sir

I think KVN is essentially best suited to rush the passer on 3rd downs. In college most of his great plays were made in the backfield as a pass rusher. I think that's his strength. Playing him in coverage seems to greatly expose his weaknesses, and it looks like Detroit made him play that way a lot. Hopefully Belichick will identify his strengths and maximize them. He probably isn't an every down player, but I think he can be effective in the proper role. Also remember, Belichick worked this guy out personally leading up to the 2014 draft. He must think he has a pretty good feel for what he can do.

Story of my life.

@oldrover @Joker @robertweathers WTF is so funny?

@AzorianPats Sorry, man, different guy.

Unless she is the brunette, no.

 

[Danger Zone]

So, an almost certain bottom of the 6th round pick for Van Noy and a likely mid-to-late 7th.

The last time the Patriots were a "mid-round" pick was 2003.

I agree. You could find the same quality in some of the high-end sections of Billerica putting up inflatable Christmas decor on the lawn.
