DRAFT Official Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread - Night 2

[Ring 6]

And that would be wild homerism. There's no way to keep the Patriots above the Bills right now based on anything else that I can see.

Like I said, no worries.

Why? The patriot defense was better last year. Whatever the QB situation is it’s hard to say buffalo is better than whatever we throw out there.
Not sure where this bills greatness is.

Dalton Keene TE

Develin replacement?

 

[Wilfork#75]

Keane is the guy that was probably in the most mocks in the draft forum, just 3 rounds later than this. There have been some George Kittle comparisons, if he can be anything close to that this will be a great pick.

 

[Sfpat]

Had both TEs in the draft game

 

[Patriot Missile]

Face palms

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Dalton Keene.

Yes!!!!

 

[Ring 6]

Fire Bill and hire his dog. He's clearly lost it. Trading with 2 of most hated teams in the league.

Wouldn’t you want to fleece your enemy?

 

[DaBruinz]

Too little (literally: Asiasi's a relative midget for a TE), too late...Shoulda picked Trautman...

You mean the guy who hasn't been drafted yet?

Also, there is such a thing as game speed. And Asiasi seems to have it..

Captain is a happy man tonight!

 

[PatriotReign]

okay now what picks are left?

 

[sb1]

I'm not getting into this with you. I asked for something you don't have. I thanked you for answering anyway. Move on.

Sure. Like I said I think I know where the majority of the pessimism is coming from and it feels like many should do the same. He is gone and no point fretting about it now. With him the team was as good as their exit last year and no more.

 

[DaBruinz]

And there is the double dip at TE.. A pair of 3rd round picks..

Also, Anfernee Jennings for DE.

 

[skinnydog]

This is an average TE class.

Yeah and we could have gotten average later. A guy like Duverney who went to the raiders 1 pick later would have been nice in that spot. One of the better slot receivers in this draft and Edelman is near the end.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Is BB done yet? I was about to switch off.

 

[trueblue81]

Keene over Trautman and the Bryant’s? AND we traded up for him? This is a strange one. Would have preferred one of the WRs still on the board.

 

[manxman2601]

LOVE, LOVE, love this draft.

 

[Kdo5]

Why not? Coaching is much better, Allen isn’t all that, for a supposedly great defense they seem vulnerable against the run and I believe that’s the offense we will be seeing from the Patriots next year. Not sure if they addressed that but we’ll find out.

I expect 1-1 vs Buf and Mia and a sweep of the Jets. There is the 4-2. Time will tell.

Studarm is unproven beyond a pick six. Our offense is as bad as last season MINUS Tom Brady. The defense is lesser than it was but seems like it'll continue being good in the long run.

We will be fighting for second in the division...hopefully.

 

[Redman443]

Dalton Keene? What?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Should use one of those picks to package with 100 to trade up for a TE. This is pretty ridiculous right now that Matt Lacosse is still the starting TE.

I have some good news for you

 

[PowerRunRevival]

It’s hard but I try to focus on the positions we draft rather than the player because the Pats know more than me about scouting.

I really wanted Trautman at 87, instead they draft two other tight ends in the third. Love the double dip at TE. I hope we got back to two te sets as our base.

With how bad the Patriots TEs were last year wouldn’t mind seeing Trautman, Moss or Sullivan with one of the later picks.
