DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread - Day 3

[Ross12]

I do have to say it’s a little screwy that this draft was hailed as one of the deepest at WR in recent memory and the Pats don’t draft any. I like most of their picks, but still, funny to think about. Hopefully get some talent as UDFAs who can compete in camp and push the incumbent talent.

 

[Deus Irae]

is my binkie Mcdonald still available.

Titans just took him.

Keep the faith, Chris. If Tannehill pulls a Tannehill, McDonald could be starting by season's end.

ATL - Sterling Hofrichter - P - Syracuse

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Gordon or Dinucci here please

 

[TomPatriot]

Im pretty sure Ive seen Izzo get blown up on some plays

I think he's a JAG.

You have seen him blown up on some plays. He could get better. We’ll see. He needs to make the team first.

 

[Ross12]

Gordon or Dinucci here please

DiNucci is probably who I’m highest on that remains.

People are just making up random names now, right?

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me at all..If you look at the previous drafts, anytime a position was touted as the deepest in recent memory and the FANS thought the Patriots had a need, BB and the Staff did something else.. Happened with LB, TE, and OT to my knowledge.

Sterling Hofrichter to the Falcons

 

[Ross12]

On the clock with our last pick, folks.

 

[primetime]

LaCosse is a decent receiving TE when healthy (which is almost never). Haven’t seen much from him as a blocker. Izzo is a decent blocker, willing to see more from him since he’s cheap.

Izzo is an absolutely putrid blocker. He was drafted for supposed blocking ability but the guy can't block anything. It's why he ended up a healthy scratch for the majority of games last year. Just awful in every way, no way he makes the team.

 

[manxman2601]

Worth noting that two other kickers have been drafted aside from ourselves. Neither are Blankenship.

Doesn't matter. He loves football.

 

[primetime]

IF is the key with this offense

• IF Edelman and Sanu are healthy and largely the same as they were pre-injury
• IF the OL injuries are healed and everyone is 100% moving forward
• IF Michel's knee gets better and holds up
• IF the TEs don't suck
• IF Stidham is veteran level in his first year as a starter

To be fair this is true of everyone but a top sliver of teams each year. The Patriots have just had the fortune of being in that top sliver for the better part of two decades.

WAS - James Smith-Williams - EDGE - NC State

Yes he was not good at blocking.

 

[Ross12]

Dustin Woodard - C - Memphis is the pick.

 

[jboston19]

Final pick for the Pats, barring a trade, is Dustin Woodard, C, Memphis
