I got the fanboy jitters when you replied to my post . Love your analysis and a silent admirer for the work that you put in draft process .
Appreciate it. It happens not everyone is a weirdo like me that pays attention to silly draft stuff. But yea, Pickens is a nut. I actually love the player believe it or not and his skill set, type is exactly what we need. I just try to take my opinion out of a lot of things when it concerns the Pats bc I know I'll be off. So I cosplay being Bill lol. Not easy.
Looking at how every freaking team has been able to get receivers in draft , we just need to believe that the game has evolved where receivers are more NFL ready than ever and double down on it in draft picks. I hope we double dip on WR this season along with DT and just go lower rounds on CB.
This is really the key. We've made obvious mistakes but Bill just doesn't value the position. And it doesn't bother me as long as we get them through FA/Trade. It's annoying though seeing all these talented guys pass us and tear up the league though. I definitely get that.
No need for Linebackers . We already have a bunch .
Agreed although I'd take a shot at BPA after out first three picks. For me it would be IDL/DL, WR or DB first. After that I'd be comfortable with strictly BPA.
Also just a reminder to every one out there. Pats really don't take OL first three rounds unless they played tackle. We might have different plans in the league but we usually only go after tackles early on.
Also look for teammates. We drafted teammates 15-16 times during Bill's tenure. More often than not. Have to believe that's a record or we're near the top for that. And we have our favorites (Bama, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas ...)
Sign JC for the franchise tag and if someone gives us a second and 4th then trade him and get mcreary from auburn .
Couple guys on my PTP list not talked about ... Cam Taylor-Britt, Coby Bryant (Sauce's teammate and that's our style to go after the unsung guy), Hudson Clark & Tiawan Mullen. If Booth and Elam are there at 21 we have to think about it imo. Those two will be 1-2 or top 3 on my board if they test the way I think they will at the combine. Both are underrated in the CB talk and a lot closer to CB1 in scouts eyes than most think.
May we get the next Gabriel Davis or renfrow from the draft .
I loved Davis coming out and he's got better. I never got to speak with him but heard nothing but good things about him as a person. He got a solid 2nd round grade from me and I had a 3rd on Renfrow. Renfrow just screams Pats. Braxton Berrios too but Hunter was born to play here and learn from Jules.
