Dalton for Dante
luckily Pats can still get some top value out of this draft with moving up for Risner
- one of the safest picks of the draft
- close to elite talent/experience (very good at run blocking and pass protection)
- fills the void at swing tackle + backs up all 5 positions in year one at the least
(potentially saves a spot on 46 roster for additional STer )
- probably dependant starter week 1 at all 5 positions if need be
- adds flexibility at OL management going forward and keeps the OL cap healthy
(unfortunately only 4 years now since they didn't take him at 32)
-.-
I honestly thought that Risner was going to be the pick for the Patriots. Yes, I was surprised, by Harry, but not disappointed.
