DRAFT Cole Strange-Welcome to the Pats

[DaBruinz]

Propaganda's working on you.

That would be YOU spouting the propaganda.

BTW, What MAJOR NCAA Conference did Logan Mankins play in?

 

[moosekill]

But they wouldn't have had to draft an OL guy in the 1st if they kept either of the G's they let go.

But they obviously thought the guards they had weren't good enough for what they were being paid. Is this really that hard for you to understand or are you just that dumb?

 

[DaBruinz]

You talking about the elite competitor, the NT out of Connecticut, who dominated at the Senior Bowl? A perfect fit in New England.

Strange at 29 was the proverbial square peg trying to go into the round hole.

Cole Strange at 29 isn't a square peg. Just because you've convinced yourself of that with nothing but garbage while ignoring the facts doesn't make it true.

Every year at draft time, I am prepared to be disappointed by the Pats draft and Yet every year I follow BCG, and all the other draft guys as they painstakingly pour through film and make suggestions that usually get me excited about who they will draft. And EVERY freakin year I get a list of new patriots who are virtually complete strangers to me and once again I've been fooled again. So welcome Cole ****ing strange some freaking OG from a school noone has heard of in a conference that probably shouldn't exist. No Daxon Hill. no Clemson CB, No Travis Jones. But a guard that I guarantee you won't be starting in september.
Call me on Sunday to let me know who else I won't care about with their next 8 picks. Because I don't give a ****.

While I understand your feelings about this Ken, I disagree on Strange becoming a starter for them. Will it be week1? I don’t know, but I think that he’s pro ready as any of the guards in this class. Like everyone I wish they had waited and gone with a guy like Daxton Hill, or Lloyd instead, but their track record on OL is probably better than any unit on the team, and Strange’ versatility ensures that he will be a valuable asset in their OL, snd it allow them to spend elsewhere going forward. This forum sh.t all over the Mankins pick years ago, and he became a borderline HOF player for them.

This was clearly a need based draft for them, and also one intent on freeing up more cap space going forward, which is why most here believe a punter will be drafted today. Whether or not these prospects pan out is anyone’s guess, but their intentions are clear, they are trying to fill the voids free agency left them with, snd to that end they have done well. Hopefully they can find some gems among their remaining 50 picks. We will see?

 

[Nunchucks]

At least this should help with pressure up the middle, but he does need to add some leg strength

 

[moosekill]

In an interview with Strange at the senior bowl he is asked about his position. He mentions he had played two games at center when their center was hurt, and he played one game at tackle. He then is asked about his interviews with NFL clubs. He mentions it was all over the place, some wanted him just at center, some wanted him at guard, and one even talked with him a lot about playing tackle.

Wonder what team that was?????

Looks like he lost a bet or something.

 

[moosekill]

And you’re an angry, diabeetus-stricken, fat slob whose pee pee hasn’t gotten wet in a long time. Jizz oozes out of your eyeballs as you limp around the house, complaining about your back pain. Want to get back on topic now? Should I pull the thread? Or is that going to be a complete waste of my time?

That escalated quickly.

You're the one who went off topic talking about Richards. It's clear it's time to put your sorry self back on ignore.

I posted that he's is very similarly built to Matt Light, just more athletic.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Hmmm, not me. Strange seems like another of BB's ham-fisted reaches, but luckily for us it appears that Matt and the other pros are now running the draft have done the other picks; I am pretty optimistic about Tyquan Thornton and Marcus Jones.

Of course none of us know; Strange could turn into the next Logan Mankins, but he did not get off to a good start at the Senior Bowl practices.

LMAO

I said those same talking points where used for Richards. It’s called a comparison. You then jumped in, claimed those talking points were not used with respect to Richards, I said they had and had the thread bookmarked to prove it, then you went the ad-hominem route so I responded in kind. You embarrassed yourself and now you’re going to go hide in a corner after getting stuffed into a locker. Thanks for making it so I don’t have to go through that thread to prove my point, though. It’s a beautiful day out and I’d like to get outside.

Please try to keep me on ignore this time, Baby Huey. Your critical thinking skills are nonexistent, your opinions aren’t very worthwhile to read, and your insults are trash. You bring very little to the table.

 

[PP2]

Not sure where to put this without derailing someone’s thread. Apologies if it was already posted.

His facial expression tells you everything you need to know. Shifty eyes and zero smiling.

Could have been a lot of teams. A lot are going the route the Patriots have typically taken - positional flexibility up front. For example, teams in the current NFL are looking to ideally have two LTs on the roster. G/C flexibility as well.

The Patriots were probably most interested in his intelligence. It’s off the charts. Not just football IQ, but he’s very intelligent in general. Add to that the fact that he has a noted mean streak, and they probably fell in love. I think everyone here would have… had he not been taken in the first round. If he was the top guy on their board, I’d rather they just trade out of the 1st altogether and grab him on day two.

 

[Kontradiction]

That escalated quickly.

And like the typical bully, on the internet and in real life, he sulks off into the proverbial corner (his gay, little ignore list) with his thumb in his mouth and cries when he gets his mouth bloodied.

 

[Easywolf32]

Yes. Your evaluation is an F- grade. Thank you for sharing.

So your saying it's not smart to draft 1st round talent in the 1st and instead draft 2nd-4th rounders in the 1st and use the extra picks you got for trading down to move up and grab a 4th round talent wr in the 2nd? Now that's some high iq right there.

 

[captain stone]

The more I hear the more I like.

Then you need to do more watching too.

 

[captain stone]

**** Little Matty Groh.

 

[captain stone]

Strange would have been gone at 33 to Tampa. Note that they took the next guard

So ****ing what?

As I predicted and fwiw, mcvay was quick to make his ‘i was not criticizing the pick and hes a great player’ announcement:

Sean McVay: Cole Strange comments were "misunderstood"
