Draft Rumors

My final mock fwiw. Obviously the trades are plucked out of thin air. This is just to kill time.

23. Rashaan Evans

Trade 31 to Broncos for 40, 109

40. Ronnie Harrison

Reid goes 28 to Steelers and we’ve had 3 separate contacts with Harrison.

43. Josh Sweat Or Rasheem Green


Trade 63 to Miami for 73, 123. Dolphins come up for Lauletta.

73 DaeSean Hamilton

Quality character and future Jordan Matthews replacement

95 Luke Falk

Quality long term backup at least.

109 Brandon Parker, LT, N Carolina A&T

Athletic well built long-armed LT.

123 Kalen Ballage

Loads of upside. Poor mans David Johnson.

198 Tremon Smith

Very athletic corner who gets his hands on the ball

210 Jullian Taylor, DT, Temple

Athletic and long armed interior D lineman. Needs work but lots to like.

219 Skai Moore

Previously highly thought of linebacker from an SEC school that met with B.B. personally. Sounds just like a Pats 7th round pick.

I'd be plenty happy with that. Would take Green over Sweat.

Smart money says sit tight and make 4 strong picks and only move up or down if it’s an overwhelming advantage trade.

I want that approach as well, even a small trade down from 23 if we can still get a 1st or top 5 of the 2nd round pick as part of the compensation.

This team needs fresh blood all over the place.

Baker is going #1. That’s happening, but figuring out 2 will be extremely difficult since the buzz is that the Giants don’t love these QBs. The Bills could move to 2 but would they take Allen or Darnold? Do we live in a world where it’s Mayfield, Allen and THEN Darnold?

If we can get an extra pick in the 3rd round to go with a second I would trade number 31.

Hard to believe that baker's goin number 1 over guys like darnold and Rosen. Rosen's my favorite QB in this draft and he likely would fall to the jests. They love Mayfield though

From what I've read about them, of all the top rated QBs in the draft, Allen sticks out as the most Jete. I would be thrilled if he's their selection. Even moreso if they wind up trading up with the Giants at #2 to ensure they get him.

Hmm, I don't think I'd put my money on that. I believe the last time the Belichick Patriots made their first four picks without a trade was...never?

IMO the smartest money is on some kind of trade down to pick up a selection in the middle round gap.

My bad. Minor trades up and down would be consistent with what I meant. But get the 4 players.

If you are a QB and you made racist tweets just a few years ago, you have already lost a good portion of your fanbase and the locker-room (before even getting drafted). What player is going to want to go to war with you?

What player has a choice?

 

[manxman2601]

Note: I missed Duke Ejiofor off my mock. I love him for the Pats as a potential upgrade to Wise or long-term replacement for Flowers.

I didn't look at him because I read his effort level is awful. I feel like that's an off-the-board flag for Belichick.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Here’s a link to his whole mock. He has kolton miller to NE at 23 and mike hughes at 31.

Ask derek carr’s offensive line who has reportedly let him get sacked a number of times on purpose.

Reportedly. And if it were true, which I seriously doubt, how long could that happen before they are benched.

I’ve not heard that and from what I’ve seen, quite the opposite. He seems like an ideal Pat too me.

A look at which prospects the Patriots are connected with

 

[manxman2601]

It doesn’t seem very Patriot-y to me but Harold Landry and Derek Rivers would be a fun pass rush combo.

43. Josh Sweat Or Rasheem Green

You know, Rashaan Evans, Rashaad Penny, Rashaan Gaulden and Rasheem Green is a totally plausible set of picks. A "rash" of young talent.

Thank you for this

It’s like the Tre, Trey of yesteryear.
