DRAFT Patriots OFFICIAL Draft Day thread - Night 1

[Jlaff]

Couldn't swing that 2021 1st out of the Chargers?

 

[nabwong]

We need to trade for the 199th pick.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Isn't the 2nd round usually our WTF pick?

Yes. Expect a short or slow CB/S who we never heard of at this pick... If BB follows the usual pattern.

But we actually need a hit in the 2nd round this time. Patriot's Roster Talent needs serious upgrades.

Rap saying we're trading!!!

Trade for CeeDee’s arm candy. I mean, I get it.

Schefter just said we could take the same player at 37 that we’d take at 23. Strange turn of phrase. That sounds like Kmet or Hurts as I said earlier. You wouldn’t say that about McKinney, Epenesa etc.

Schefter is just blowing smoke out of his . . . With that comment.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

looking forward to trading one of the 3's for a second next year

 

[Sfpat]

PFF boys thinks the Patriots are stealing from the league with this trade

 

[FCB02062]

If Bill picks an offensive lineman at 37 after wasted picks on injured guys last few years...it might be time to hang it up after this season

Sounds as if he spoke directly to BB


Now we all need to wait on the "slow, but very smart" DB.

 

[Redman443]

We need a big bodied WR. The only one left is tee Higgins

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Was the trade value even equal !?!?

 

[AQPE]

Biggest problem I have with this is BB has been awful in the 2nd round

Rob Gronkowski wasn't a bad pick though, amirite?

 

[stcjones]

BB will probably trade 2 of those picks away for next years draft and then next year we will trade those picks away for 3 picks in 2022....Hey at least BB is consistent....definitely outthinks the room

People should be happy.

Rounds 2-4 is where it's at.

We now have an early 2nd. Can keep 71 and easily trade 2 of the other 3 to get back into the 2nd.

No surprise here.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Well passing on Murray and I assume Queen goes pretty quickly now we’re gonna target the next group of LBs.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

When I used your Big Board doc in the mock draft simulators to trade back into that neighborhood, I'd usually wind up with Cesar Ruiz or Zach Baun in the 2nd and take the top TE with the additional pick.

I'm hoping we end up with both if/when we trade up into the 2nd?

Idk I want to keep 71. Use the rest of the 3rds to get one of Sea's?

I'd be thrilled with those two or a Trautman in that area.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Schefter just said we could take the same player at 37 that we’d take at 23. Strange turn of phrase. That sounds like Kmet or Hurts as I said earlier. You wouldn’t say that about McKinney, Epenesa etc.

Yeah the confidence behind that comment was notable.

 

[Joker]

yup...waste of an evening. I knew it. Let's hope they actually USE the 2nd round pick tomorrow.

 

[skinnydog]

[PATSYLICIOUS]

if he takes a cornerback with that 2nd rounder i might hurt myself

 

[FCB02062]

Ugh fck .......Murray BB?!?! We couldnt have used him?! SD getting a superstar

Doesn't play special teams; he's useless to BB
