DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION OFFICIAL 2023 Patriots Draft Day Discussion: Round 1

[Bill Lee]

Report: Some teams concerned about Will Levis toe injury

Will Levis was generally included in a group of four quarterbacks who were expected to go at the top of the draft in discussions over the last few weeks, but it turned out that NFL teams had a very different view of him.

It gets worse every year. I don't mind the special presentations, like Make a Wish kids and what not. But when the pick is in and the next team is already 5 minutes into their clock, but we don't hear it because the HOUSE BAND has to finish playing a crappy cover song, it feels like they're deliberately wasting my time.

Tighten the first round up to a clean 3 hours (like an NFL game), and it'd be 100x better.

It's a little ridiculous when the picks are in 5-7 minutes before they're announced. They should move this along a little better.

Gonzalez certainly fits a need, and he is a man to man corner. The PAC 10 competition is the only thing that worries me. N’Keal lit up the PAC 10.

Can’t really complain about take one of the tip CBs.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Anyone think the Patriots will actually jump back into Round 1? Eyes are getting a little heavy ..

Draft Levis ... trade Mac for some pick later ... take the loss ... move on.

LOL, can't believe I'm complaining about it.

Whoa! Looks like someone here fancies himself quite the technical analyst who KNOWS THINGS. You are beyond a joke. Take a running jump, "bro."

The lady doth protest too much.

That's why it should be OK to posts picks

There goes Harrison. Hoped the Pats would snag him tomorrow.

He's super careless with the football. Aside from the physical upside, he's pretty mistake prone, it wouldn't be an upgrade.

 

[203Pat]

Crossing my fingers Dawned Jones is there for us tomorrow.

 

[Ian]

Or at least cut the clock short once the pick is in. Clearly, they have it if reporters are tipping it.

Brian branch in the 2nd? Would solidify the secondary for years.

He needs some polish, but I like the upside. I think he has a nice ceiling but also fairly high bust potential.

 

[Sfpat]

If the Pat's are going to trade back into the 1st it will be with NO.

 

[Ross12]

I might be tempted to come up for Branch.

Great pick by cincy
I hope the pats snag bresee or dawand jones

6y of good roster moves for BUF continues . they get their Kelce (but a nice one) on top of what was already unstoppable offense for NE..

Gonzo makes NE arguably best corner group in NFL . BUT they still dont have anybody who can cover top TE

???

I agree Kincaid is excellent for the Bills, but the Bills media has been heavily critical of McDermott - Beane's drafting. They got Josh Allen, and he's great, but all those picks on Ed Oliver, Rousseau, Epenesa, Shaq Lawson, Boogie Basham, Terell Bernard, Zack Moss, Spencer Brown, Kaiir Elam. A lot of underwhelming picks from them.

 

[Ross12]

Well, we can safely say no one is trading a 1st round pick for Jerry Jeudy now.

 

[Ian]

He needs some polish, but I like the upside. I think he has a nice ceiling but also fairly high bust potential.

He's certainly got the physical ability, but he was on TV a bunch down here last year, and after watching him, I was sort of surprised people were so high on him. Although, my daughter went to FSU, and Jameis Winston was also a turnover machine there...and I remember not liking him and was surprised he went as high as he did. Great arm, but just a careless player.

The Jonas Brothers alone cost us 10 minutes of our lives. I'm convinced they delayed the announcement for their interview
