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

“Mafi is a massive and powerful interior offensive lineman who blocks to the whistle and flashes the ability to overwhelm defenders in the run game. His size makes it tough to go through and around him in pass pro. Mafi is a former defensive tackle, and his pad level, footwork and hand placement are all inconsistent. -- Steve Muench”


Belichick/Klein apparently want tough guys who finish.

 

[BadMoFo]

Only played guard two years. Wonderful.

 

[Brady6]

Onwenu 100% going back to RT.

Or getting traded.

 

[SteveKiner]

are strange and Onwenu both moving to Tackle?

 

[Wozzy]

First really dumb pick in the draft for the Pats. Why, you just drafted two interior beasts already?!

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Onwenu 100% going back to RT.

Seemed like he did pretty decently there his rookie year, but I assume Shaq was covering for him a bit since he was exclusively a guard the last 2 years. He’s clearly a right side of the line guy regardless.

Mafi is a monster

Not sure why we're taking so many guards, unless Strange and Onwenu are getting kicked outside

Not sure who gets moved where, but it seems likely to me that some guy designated guard will end up playing tackle.

 

[DaBruinz]

WOW. Another OG in Mafi.. Interesting.

 

[203Pat]

We have no tight ends signed after 2023. Only Juju and Thornton signed at receiver past 2023. We are going to have an army of replacements for Onwenu but no one ready to step in for any pass catchers.

Seems like good traits to me. Would you disagree?

 

[Schmo]

A lot of running Mondre behind a 6 man line?

Shaq Mason comp

 

[nextsuperstar]

This is a development pick. Looks like a red shirt.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Strange moving to LT would be interesting too. Curious to see what the plan there is, or if they really just view these 3 interior guys as backups.

I don’t disagree.

 

[Since1960]

Here’s who’s left from my earlier list… grab a weapon please, preferably Ford Wheaton or Kuntz!

WR - Bryce Ford-Wheaton, Andrei Iosivas, Trey Palmer

TE - Zack Kuntz, Will Mallory

QB - Tyson Bagent, Jaren Hall,

RB - Israel Abanikanda, Evan Hull

LB - Owen Pappoe

CB/S - Corey Trice, Darell Luter, Christian Izien

OT- John Ojukwu, Jake Witt

We still need a punter…

Thankfully we got a 4th 6 rounder back from the trade with John. Plenty of time to get 4 of your selections…..

 

[203Pat]

Going to be a severe case of the Foxboro Flu this summer.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Sounds like the last time the Pats beat the Bills?

i think they certainly want the opportunity to kick one outside with enough depth at the IOL, with Hines and Ferentz this makes 5 backups at IOL so far
