DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official Patriots Draft Day 3 Thread - Rounds 4-7

[Schmo]

Gonna go for a ST ace or 2 in the coming rounds?

Better than taking one in the 2nd round.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Finally got the 5th round pick that we use on punters historically. So that’ll be our next pick.

 

[Wozzy]

I get they are getting ready to fill potential holes for a year from now but there are immediate holes right now. RT, a blocking TE and a slot receiver are all glaring holes.

Either lineman could slot into OG now and they could slide Onwenu to RT. They’re going to have a gargantuan sized powerful line. That’s a great thing, not a negative.

BB playing 3D chess here…. He’s positioning himself for the Rutgers punter.

 

[bakes781]

New Engleand?

 

[Ross12]

Did we really need another 6th rounder?

So pats pick up a 5th only 9 spots later than their 4th and also gain a 6th that they lost in their trade up for their kicker.

Charlie Jones is a welker/Edelman kind of player….nice snag for Bengals

Worth noting that none of the slot receivers that have had success in NE were on rookie deals at the time.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Pats get a 5th and a 6th for trading last pick in the 4th...chalk

Now we can pick TWO PUNTERS!

 

[JackBauer]

He’s lucky I’m not the owner I would fire him for the drafts alone I’m sorry.
Anyone of us could of ran a better day 3 So far.

“could of”

I like Onwenu's versatility I just don't know if they want him out at RT. By the looks of this draft we will probably see how they feel about him there this summer.

I suggested that many pages ago but people seemed to disagree.

trading a 4th for 2 later picks in the same draft? I'm not understanding the logic behind this. If there is nobody on their draft board worth picking at this point why trade for two lower picks? Maybe there's strength in numbers.

 

[nextsuperstar]

Kinda like throwing $&@$ against the wall and seeing what sticks - and here we thought serious professionals who spent a whole year watching these guys to insure we select the best at each snd ever selection. Who knew??!!

NFL drafts are to an extent about having the most chances about getting it right. None of these are guaranteed. Having more picks meaning more chances at hitting, and taking the players most likely to hit.

 

[Patsgofor4]

Okay okay… get a weapon here. Kuntz at TE, Bryce Ford Wheaton at WR or a RB like Israel Abanikanda.

I love all three of those options.

You’re under the assumption that they actually HAVE a “draft board”. This draft shows no evidence they have any such thing.

 

[Dingleberry]

I know nothing about the punters available. But if there is one who is considered a great prospect with a huge leg, I would have no problem taking him with the next pick.

Our Special Teams DID lose games for us last year.

 

[Toofy]

They should give Matt Groh a thrill and select Iosivas, WR from Princeton.

You stole words out of my mouth. I might not mind getting him in the 5tg round over perry .

So you are smarter then the million dollar scouting budget. You watched 1000s of hours of game tape on 100s players? I may not agree with choices but my looking at a few websites of ",experts" does not beat pros

It's about where they VALUE players. They could also be trying to trade picks into next year. Teams may be more likely to trade picks next year that are later in the draft.. Which is how the Pats got the 4 picks they have in the 6th round.

It's clear that the Pats have had trouble making trades for whatever reason. I mean, they supposedly were trying to move up in the 2nd and nothing panned out. Supposedly there were other trades that haven't panned out for them as well.

He’s got stupid long arms and played well at RT tackle before. He struggled at LT but they don’t need him there.
