DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 2

[cmasspatsfan]

This isn’t even funny anymore, trading up in the second round for a guy with a 4th round grade.

You put too much stock in the "experts" opinion.

 

[Joey007]

He is a guy who may have not been available by round 3. I still don’t get the trade up though. Who was going to take him?

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Are we all going to claim someone was about to pounce on Thornton too to justify a massive reach?

something made them go from 54 to 50 for him. You think they just wanted to fck with draftnik's heads?

With WRs not so much.

There is that. It's a new day.

 

[Deus Irae]

So the 4th round grade was.... what?

Starts with a "W"

well deserved?

 

[*ChungFu*]

Just Hope Mac have the arm to get it to him I love the Pick.

Slants galore.

 

[skinnydog]

better than sky moore or pickens? Wait and see.

Talent wise no where near Pickens, but not likely a head case

 

[Love The Drake]

Whew. I did not see that pick coming. @ChrisR2223 happy?

Yes I identified him weeks ago as that thin lean Robbie Anderson build.
I didn’t think BB would listen to me.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Because clearly somebody thought he was going before our pick. How hard is this?

Clearly Bill’s seeing ghosts.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Again, these both could be good players. We could have easily got Strange at 54 and Thornton with one of our third round picks.

And you know this how?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

He's GONE, "See ya *****es"

 

[Wheelssps]

I don’t know enough about him to love or dislike the pick, but just from the highlight video he seemed to have a bit of an AJ Green vibe to him. Not sure how accurate that is, but just initial impression.

 

[patsinthesnow]

People are complaining about the pats drafting WR that ran a 4.28 in a league where speed matters for WR production more than ever. I’m a fan.

 

[*ChungFu*]

???

Given how they trade, they have to "give a ****".

True

 

[skinnydog]

Because clearly somebody thought he was going before our pick. How hard is this?

Maybe thought Steelers would take him. Seems like a Steelers kind of receiver.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

well deserved?

RRRRNNNT.

Another hint.

Starts with "W", answer could be followed by "QED."

 

[jays52]

Seems consistent with their drafting of high upside types in the second.

 

[Brick27]

Pickens is going to be a star

 

[upstater1]

What I like about Thornton is that he gets faster with every minute that passes.

By the time the season starts, this guy will be faster than the Concorde.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Are we all going to claim someone was about to pounce on Thornton too to justify a massive reach?

They explicitly traded up for him. Clearly they thought so. Whether it‘s true or not, we won’t know.

 

[Sfpat]

Wow. He was way down on most draft boards. Surprising to see him picked ahead of Pickens, Moore, and a few others. Can't teach speed though.

Can you share those draft boards?
