DRAFT Cole Strange-Welcome to the Pats

[slash83]

Bill has lost his mind. Traded Mason for peanuts, let Karras go cause he got cheap then drafts a 3rd round guard.

Your defense didn’t force a got damn punt the last two games vs Buffalo, moron.

 

[Easywolf32]

Traded Mason for a dumb 5th, than picked Strange in the 1st when you could have had him in the 3rd.....and passed on Karlaftis who's a wrecking crew...or Dean..or Daxton...it just doesn't make make any sense. F- grade

 

[nextsuperstar]

He is your week one starter. I mean, you want your first round pick to be a starter as a rookie, right? But, unless you painted yourself into a corner, why not trade down again and grab him in the second?

It may be time for BB to retire.

The Dolphins got Hill, the Bills got better, the Jets got three great players.

The Pats got a Div 3 40 year old center who can’t do a shotgun snap.

Last place, here they come

I almost think Bill is trying to tank - perhaps he sees some stud at the top of the 2023 draft cause thats where this team could be heading for #1 pick - Kraft also suddenly hints his relationship with Bill starting to change south so maybe this will be his last year, personally I think its time to reload.

Strange pick is catnip for Adam Jones
Local talk radio gold

n’keal harry happy he’s not the worst first round pick of the BB era anymore…

Lets not go that far.

If we draft an actual AJ Brown instead of Harry. Good chance Pats win the SB, and Brady is still here.

Harry is possibly the worst pick in NFL history.

He's gonna be 24. He better be ready.

Bad value but he has potential and we have been pretty good drafting guards. Let’s hope for a better tomorrow.

 

[upstater1]

No issue with the player but the pick is just gross. I don't mind even if you reach slightly for him at 54 but you have to be cognisant of league wide value and ratings. No one was selecting him in the top 50 surely. Awful pick.

I hated this pick but Kiper did have him going in the 50s.

 

[Patriotic Fervor]

Bill needs to go. This isn’t 1990/2000/2010. Time has passed him by

I won't go that far...yet. But I fear in his old age, Bill is becoming Al Davis.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

It’s time to move on from BB, this pick is indefensible.

Chad Jackson came damn close - Belichick should never be left to draft a wide receiver - his % of picking good players at the position is about as bad as it gets

 

[denverpatsfan]

BB has got to go. So beyond ridiculous

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Mostly agree but he's GOT to be in the running for week 1 starter.... not saying that makes it a good pick but if he isn't starting at some point this year at such a thin position thats a massive fail

 

[SHOWTIME15]

delete…

 

[UGAPatsfan]

I actually blame Kraft. Should have moved on from Bill after the Cam Newton year.

 

[billdog3484]

If we took him in the 2nd round, I would be pissed, but o would probably be ok with it. We took him in the first ducking round. This is outrageous. Todays nfl is about speed in space. This pick is egregious.
It shows a lack of understanding of todays game

 

[Vindicate]

Bill has gone on the record as being someone who really likes to listen to other players and coaches because they all have different angles.

Walsh said this was crucial to a good organization - one that encourages input on every level.

So it seems to me, the one place Bill can't get a ****ing grip on this, is with the draft. I have a hard time believing this was a group consensus.

I could be wrong but whatever.

If I want to be positive, protecting Mac is huge. It would help develop his ability to go through a progression, which means players like Agholor could get on the stat sheet more.

That's all the positivity I got. Who wants to **** on it by telling me how many better guards there were to take?

Another in a series of very poor value picks. The Patriots have an objectively bad track record of drafting the past five years. They have few starters from their recent draft string. Very poor decisions in player evaluation. This appears to be more of the same.
Still an excellent game planning coach. But these poor draft decisions could be the issue that prevents Belichick from chasing down Shula.
