Steve Balestrieri

This list isn’t meant to be all-encompassing, there are other players out there who would fit, this is just a few that we like here.

[50-yard-line]

When I clicked on this, I had three guys in mind.

They're your 1, 2, and 3.

Surprised that you didn't include Andy Isabella, though.

Receivers I would love the see the Pats get. Hakeem Butler Iowa State, Miles Boykin Notre Dame, David Sills West Virginia, Andy Isabella UMass

Not sure why Renfrow isn't rated a little higher. His 40 was a little disappointing but he's an ankle breaker out of his cuts and will only get better with this coaching staff that will make full use of his strengths.

Love what he offers. That said, he's tiny. Just look at these percentile scores for WR:

Measurable Measurement %tile
Height 5' 10¼" 16
Weight 184 lbs 12
Wingspan 70¾" 3
Arm Length 29?" 1
Hand Size 7?" 0

I think he's a good fit here, but not every team will value what he brings to the table.

At least he'll never be accused of short-arming the ball.
Also, thank goodness for the gloves receivers now wear. Those hands are like a girls'. Mine are almost 9" and I'm 5'9.

Deebo Samuel (and AJ Brown too) is a distinct possibility at 32, depending on the way the draft unfolds for TEs & DEs.

Ridley & McLaurin, among others, would be good fits at 56/64...Boykin might be closer to the 97/101 range.

Renfrow & Hart: 7th-rounders, no earlier.

I agree with this. Curious, though, Andy Isabella?

 

[manxman2601]

Glad to see Penny Hart on the list. He can make DBS look silly. Ankle breaker.

Coach cap telling like it is...I agree don't want Boykin with any of our Second Rounders after that I could care less.

If they Reach for Andy Isabella in the Second or with that early Third I would be very happy. Isabella with his speed should be able to play on the outsides in this league.

That speed is really something. Imagine all the types of plays you can use him in. Bubble screens, reverses, even a slant can go the distance. I would love to see Isabella, and a BIG receiver drafted. And obviously a good TE. That offense would be a blast to watch. Imagine adding Noah Fant, Isabella, and a BIG receiver like Butler or Boykin. Wow.

 

[DaBruinz]

I could see the Pats triple dipping at WR.

Andy Isabella, David Sills, and Hunter Renfrow would be intriguing to say the least.

As would Stanley Morgan, Keelan Doss, Bisi Johnson, Terry Godwin and Ashton Dulin.

I could see Isabella being another Edelman type player. Being able to play inside and outside and finding the holes the way Edelman does.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Whoever we sign, he will have to deal with me...

 

[Flash]

I mean based on what we need Ridley and Boykins seem like the best possible choices, since we don't have any talents at X other than Josh Gordon. Edelman can still play another two years at least so there is no rush to draft a slot receiver. While the importance of a X isn't that big for the Patriots we still need someone good or at least has potential, none of the WRs we signed so far have shown that. Sure, both (especially Boykins) could end up being a bust like Dobson but WR along with TE/DE are the biggest needs on the squad, I think it's worth gambling drafting one of these big/physical WRs (D.K. Metcalf at #32 anyone? ).

Though I'd say if A.J. Brown falls to #32, I'd say we go for him.

I wouldn't rule it out if the 3rd pick at WR is in the 6th round.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I wouldn't rule it out if the 3rd pick at WR is in the 6th round.

If we go for a third, I'll bet it's someone like Pollard, who can play WR/RB/ST, not a third pure receiver. But what do I know? Every year I learn it's less and less.

 

[Patriot Missile]

I agree with this. Curious, though, Andy Isabella?

15 catches 215 yards 2tds against Georgia.

 

[captain stone]

As a 2nd WR in a double-dip, maybe, but not until our 4th-rounder...at the Earliest.
