Zay Flowers to NE “worst kept secret in the league”

[Jim Beankie]

Within the first three rounds, BB will chose someone that's not on anyone's radar. I look forward to the meltdown.

In related news, I just thought, "man I wish there was a popcorn butto... HOLY CRAP THERE'S A POPCORN BUTTON!!1!!1!!"

 

[Wozzy]

A smurf WR in the first…. god help us… no.

Could do worse

The Pat's will.

 

[Triumph]

The Pats won't pick a WR at 14.

It will be DL or OL.

 

[Triumph]

I don’t think that they would taken this player at #14….. He is 5’ 10” and 178….feel like we need bigger more physical receivers right now! I think Bill goes OL at 14…..seems like biggest need

A stud OT helps your offense immensely.

Run and passing.

 

[Wozzy]

Trade back in the first…

Darnell Washington no matter what. Give me an offensive lineman who is also a WR. Gronk 2.0

Exactly. Not sure what a wr is going to do for this team if the qb can’t even get past his first read without pressure. Give Klemm a new toy to start his coaching career off right.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to upgrading the wr core but LT seems to be the biggest need to stabilize the receiving core. Johnson, Jones or Wright seem to fit the bill at 14.

If they go with another position like cb etc I’d be eying Bergeron in that 2nd or 3rd round.

This is April, and thus “silly season” for NFL rumors. The media in regard to the Pats is trying to make it “asinine season,” not that Flowers to the Pats is asinine but calling it the “worst kept secret in the league” is gold medal winning in the asinine competition (or if you’d prefer, worthy of the “Adam Jones” award for stupid “takes”)

probably, although a CB might be considered.

Precisely

I'm not saying Flowers is anything, but a stud WR would go to waste on this team. It's going to be RB, TE, WR by committee.

If one piece breaks down you plug in the next part and keep going.

Why?

The Pat's are great at finding DBs late in the draft.

 

[Love The Drake]

Riley Moss is a late round sleeper.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Remember Tavon Austin to the Pats in 2013?

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Riley Moss is a late round sleeper.

People saying he is a FS, great in zones, interceptions, and leaping. With the name "R Moss" what is there not to like?

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Remember Tavon Austin to the Pats in 2013?

The Rams traded up to select Austin 8th overall. What a disappointment.

 

[Brotherblues]

They said we were drafting Deebo Samuel as well.

It was for sure Deebo or AJ Brown they said. Perfect Patriots they said. No brainer, book it they said...

 

[Wax Frog]

I'll say it again, nothing good ever comes of booking it.

Huh? You mean they’re great at finding UDFAs right?

 

[mgteich]

Why?

The Pat's are great at finding DBs late in the draft.

fair enough

I strongly prefer and expect an OL or front seven player.

However, if the value isn't there, I could see Bill drafting one of the 3 corners. IMO, it is better to do that to trade down and not get a blue chip player. Of course, there may be no blue chip plyers available, per Bill's board at the time.
