The draft

Not open for further replies.
I agree that there are 26 spots, any one of which could be filled by a rookie. However, I would not want 12 rookies to make the 53, in addition to Wynn and Bentley.

There is no need to go younger. There may be no limit. However, we already were the 3rd youngest team in the NFL in 2018.

Hopefully, egos list will be smaller by a few come next week, with the re-signings.
The point is that everyone of those 12 picks will have a good opportunity to compete for a job.
 
I think fant will be the first TE off the board.

TJ deserves all the love he's getting. Fant was a victim of silly season. Guys that never watched him, heard something & repeated it. Happens all the time.

He's been incredibly underutilized at Iowa. Scheme but a lot more so QB. Stanley didn't move an inch in the right direction & almost everyone suffered.

Numerous times guys would be open, plenty of room & get a ball in the dirt. Literally every game. Couldn't imagine how frustrating it was year after year.

Prospects like him don't come around too often. Hard worker. Smart. Insane athlete that can do it all. Block, run routes, yac, move around for matchups ...
He can line up anywhere. Big RZ target & stretch the field like a WR.

Guarantee hes a top 10-20 player on New England's board.

I can see fant as high as 8 to Detroit.
 
I’d take either Fant or Hockenson, and there are a number of DL who would fit right in as well.
 
Realistically Fant won't be there. So #32 is probably down to Irv Smith at TE.

How many TEs do you expect to go in the first round?
 
I think as NE I would trade those 5 6th and 7th round picks for vets and continue to improve depth.
