2017 NFL Draft, Day Three Game-Day Thread

[TomPatriot]

I think they traded out of the 7th to move up.

That's it folks. We traded our 7th rounder. On to 'day 4'.

I think they traded out of the 7th to move up.

Don't think they had anything else to give unless it was a future pick. Ah, well. It was a pretty good draft.

Best day of the draft

 

[AtomicDawg]

Meh

Hmm, double dipping at OT. Well he was the best one left.
Potential two tackles of the future with him and Garcia.

 

[mihap]

Conor McDermott, very nice

UDFAs.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

YES. I love McDermott. Throw out the stupid couple of reps against Garrett. I compared him to Solder since last year. He's a very good player, and should never have gotten out of the 3rd.

For what we had going in, I'm delighted.

 

[Husse]

I guess that's one way to maximize the chance that they have a replacement for Solder next year.

 

[miloofcroton]

McDermott has a lot of Nate Solder traits. As I think a few have mentioned here, I'm not super wild about these really tall OTs, as they might limit what you can do in the ground game a bit, but I happen to like this prospect.

UDFAs.

That's what I mean by day 4.

Until about two hours ago I had completely forgotten about the NFL Draft, was just perusing CBS's list of Best Available, saw Conor McDermott as the 2nd best OT still availabe, and read:

Former TE turned OT

and wondered if the Patriots would grab him in the sixth.

This is one draft pattern that will never change.

 

[patchick]

Huh. McDermott is really intriguing raw material, but how many super-athletic-but-raw developmental tackle prospects do they have room for?

 

[long distance]

Finally a Vincent Valentine remembrance moment!

or is Garcia moving in?

 

[BobDigital]

Meh

I don't know he seems interesting.

2017 NFL Draft Profile: Conor McDermott

Love the size and length. Unusual for a guy like that to have strength issues I think. He has the ability to get much stronger one would think.

Seems like a good project player. He is just gets stronger and cleans up his technique no doubt he could play well in this league.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Two.

 

[Deus Irae]

So the Patriots spent the draft dealing with 2 of their 3 biggest needs.

LBs now in the crosshairs, along with a depth and/or slot CB, I'm guessing.

He will probably make it to the practice squad
