The most Belichick move of them all

 

[UGAPatsfan]

And a kicker which wasn’t even projected to be drafted…head scratch

 

[stcjones]

I have no words for this move… Just typical Bill Belichick… No one can even remotely understand what he’s doing here

 

[sb1]

Weird move to trade up…

 

[TinhWoodhead]

felgah will love this

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

[nabwong]

Well someone needs to score points for us.

You don’t know how wrong you are. The guy has a bazooka for a leg. Just needs to work on his consistency. I’ve watched him kick 50+ yard field goals, and they hit the top of the netting, meaning they would be good from 60+. Set the all time field goal percentage at Maryland. Great on kickoffs as well. Massive leg.

Unfortunately, he’s the second most exciting Pat’s draft pick behind Gonzalez and the most exciting offensive draft pick by the Pats in the 2023 draft. Tells you how bad their draft has been overall.

BRUTAL!!!

Belichick completely lost his ****ing mind after the 1st round.

Starting some player threads to individually discuss each guy.

So he’s inconsistent and still set school record?

 

[crawhammer]

F

Strong candidate for worst pick of the entire draft.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Most controversial pick since that other guy who was cancelled immediately in 2020.

 

[moosekill]

Boohoo we don’t need a kicker we need 8th string wide receivers. Same old *****es *****ing as usual.

According to who? I had a K projected. Folk is 38 and his accuracy from 40-49 dipped last year. Kicking hurt the team last year, especially on kick-offs. I count 2 games the difference was KO Return TDs (Bills and Vikings). Rylan had 70% touchback rate. Kicker that can kick off was a definite need.

Need a Kicker

Folk coukd drop off the cliff at any minute.

A kicker many had as the best kicker in the draft. It was the most obvious pick of the draft.

 

[catent]

NFL ball, NFL width goalposts. Hits from 62 & 66. Hits three kickoffs of over 70 yards and 4+ sec of hangtime. I like him more than Moody, more consistent inside 50 and cleaner technique.

 

[Betterthanmost]

quite a bit of game winners here, lots of long distance made FGs as well. I think the team is set. I am excited to see what the defense will do.
