Hate being a Patriots fan during the draft. Nothing they do makes sense.

Michigan party,yeah

 

[iapatsfan]

Michael Onwenu...6’3” 350-370 lbs.depending when his last bowel movement was. Dude is a Mountain

Smart move by the Pats. Build the confidence of Harry and Sanu by finally bringing in a guy they may be able to beat in man coverage.

Giants - Cameron Brown - LB - Penn State
CAR - Bravvion Roy - DT - Baylor
MIAMI - Blake Ferguson - LS - LSU

Having a mountainous guard is probably good when you’re looking to go run-heavy. Pairs well with Shaq? Wonder if it means anything for Thuney.

 

[Bill Lee]

Pats trade 212 and 213 for 182

212 = 5.4
213 = 5

from Indy
182 = 17.4

Par for the course:

I love Thuney but I hope he is traded for a capable WR.

 

[DaBruinz]

We technically win this trade by a little

7.4 points. Which is the equivalent of #207

Can't imagine a 6th rounder that doesn't fit the system would have an impact on Thuney.

Interesting pick. He makes more sense as a more tackle convert than he does as a guard in our system.

This is going to be a fun season. I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised.

Expect the worst, hope for the best.. No expectations one way or the other.. That's how I planned the first 3 years for after Brady was gone..

Tell me more? What hasn’t made sense?

Biggest positional issue on offense was TE. We addressed it

Defensively, we lost both KVN and Collins. We addressed this.

Chung is getting old. We addressed this.

We replaced Ghost.

Not gonna fix everything in one draft. We still need help at wr and to this point need a 3rd Qb. But all in all the pats have done a good job addressing some glaring needs.

He likes the big OL pick. We have his seal of approval, he always says , In Bill I trust. Can't argue too much with him there. lol

@ashley1992 would your dad approve of either of our last 2 draft picks, Michael or Justin?

 

[DaBruinz]

Chargers - Alohi Gilman - S - Notre Dame

 

[Bill Lee]

Plenty of space on the Jets, Bills or Dolphins bandwagon.. I have been with this team forever and right now have confidence that this team will regain its prominence once again..

Right some idea of what this team will look like come September.. but still lots of pieces to fill in.

"WTF" moments are a part of every draft weekend of the BB era.

Lots of swings, many misses, a few hits, a few home runs.

 

[TomPatriot]

At least 11 OLs in TC. For now.

 

[AQPE]

Hopefully not Damon Denson 2.0 with those slow feet (and from Michigan)

 

[slam]

My Bingo card is filling up, but I don't think I'll get a Bingo.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Speaking of Michigan . . . has anyone drafted DPJ yet? He disappointed in college, but his testing and size is solid. He's got some skill, if someone can help him unlock urgency in his routes.

EDIT: Lol, my timing. There he goes.
