Official 2018 Draft Round 1 Thread

Lots of great players still on the board... man, so many different ways they could go

 

[Ring 6]

My first thought on Wynn was "great player, every scout raves about him, but his size requires a move to guard." But then I remembered how the book on Shaq Mason was "great player, every scout raves about him, but his size requires a move to center." Wait and see, I guess!

Matt light 2.0
Everyone said he needed to move to g too. Except belichick and Dante

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Can't believe I stayed up until 4am for Wynn to be the pick. Meh. Going to bed.

We were never drafting Suh or Randy Moss

 

[Wilfork#75]

Holy reach Batman!

 

[manxman2601]

Who says he’s worse?

Which linebacker is better than Josh Jackson? Lorenzo Carter maybe but that requires a transition. Who else?

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Wynn allowed 5 pressures as a LT in the SEC. Five.

Think about that for a second. Regardless of where he plays, he is a grade A lineman.

Nfl a different league. Tell me the last great pro bowler at tackle under 6'3

 

[jboston19]

Like the pick. Yes, the D fared miserably in the Superbowl but left tackle is a huge hole and this kid will dominate. There's still a bunch of talent on D left for them, especially Harold Landry.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Ring 6]

Pretty much all pundits project him as a guard but he’s shown he could play both in college.

Mayock said he can play t in NE system. Called him something like the best quick pass blocking player to come out in years.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Whaaaaaa?! Penny...here? Lol

 

[stcjones]

Can't believe I stayed up until 4am for Wynn to be the pick. Meh. Going to bed.

Quite a shocker here I agree with you...so much better available on board and if you wanted kickass OL.....MOVE UP!!!!

 

[TinhWoodhead]

but reach and height are not the same thing... If he has short arms say so.

short Wynn-dow?

 

[Wilfork#75]

Penny is a good player but I don't think he is a 1st rounder. And he's gonna struggle behind that OL

 

[manxman2601]

 

[BobDigital]

Wynn pick looks a lot better after seeing Hayden Hurst and Penny go not long after. Just saying.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

When this guy's getting beat like a drum on the outside he will be moved inside.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

So he traded cooks so he could draft an OT in the first round and then trade the 31st pick. Brilliant

No, he traded Cooks because he felt that whatever he could do with that pick over the next 5ish years and the money saved would be worth more than paying Cooks $7M and then likely losing him in FA. Period.

 

[AQPE]

There goes my “binky,” good luck in Seattle Rashaad Penny. Would have looked good here, oh well (though I will admit he was my binky for #43)

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

So this guy will start away at tackle?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

I live in Georgia and have seen every single game, I have no idea why anyone thought he was even draftable, let alone a first round pick.

I would have preferrred any other Georgia player than him!

But you just said earlier that he was better than any guard we have. Smh.
