DRAFT Patriots OFFICIAL Draft Day thread - Night 1

[carmelo15]

Falcons were being reported as trying to trade up

Miami has a lot of picks and they overreached for a tackle they were for sure involved in talks, Tampa did the right thing

See ya Rodgers

 

[Uncle Rico]

Umm, Johnny Walker blue

After the first glass, does it matter?

 

[stcjones]

Not a guy I thought would be good fit in BB system....so off to GB goes love

 

[Ross12]

I’m sure Rodgers will mentor Love to be the best like Favre mentored him.

Oops, none of that happened or will happen

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Pats were never selecting a QB this high. Stidham is the guy. For better or worse.

Steal

How can you be a steal when the player is picked where he is supposed to be picked,

 

[Deus Irae]

Green Bay traded up from No. 30 to Miami’s spot at No. 26. Green Bay gave up its 1 and a 4 to get there.

[Bourne Again Christian]

I wonder if the Pats thought he would be at 37

 

[Dorito Dink]

Was the trade value even equal !?!?

Based on draft value points, the Pats slightly won the trade (765 vs. 760). Again, it's not the popular move but the reality is, the draft is always a crapshoot. The more you up your odds (i.e., getting more picks) in rounds that have good talent, the better off you typically are at hitting on a few of them. It's a good trade. Lots of talent in the 2-4 rounds. That's been talked about for months. No shot in hell BB was going to wait from #23 to #87 and BB isn't one to sell the future (next years picks) to move up. Not shocking and honestly not a bad move. Tomorrow night will be awesome.

They're still going to draft a QB this draft just not this high.
