David Andrews has been a low key player that needs to be upgraded. He gets pushed back a lot.

I had them drafting a center, hope this turns into a great pick

 

[Ochmed Jones]

This guy looks like a guard playing center. My guess is he gets injured by day 2 or day 3 of training camp.

If Andrews gets hurt, Andrews will play center.

I like this pre-draft write-up by a former NFL scout, who now does draft analyses for Ourlads. Funny that he compares him to D. Andrews. That ranking is combined center and guard.

Gritty, tough, smart, and consistent…..in case some were wondering why the Pats like him so much. Add in quick hands and reaction time and they may have a good succession plan in place at a critical position along the OL.

Been hoping for a developmental C for a couple drafts now.

Worth noting that Andrews' position coach at Troy was none other than former Patriots' OL coach Cole Popovic.

So not only did the Patriots probably have in depth knowledge of Andrews, they drafted someone that they've seen play their system.

Same here. I was a big fan of Creed Humphrey, but we obviously went elsewhere with our picks. Let's hope that Andrews can develop into a similar sort of player. He's got the potential to be a solid starter for us on the interior.

 

[long distance]

Watching this tape what stands out to me is his calmness, confidence . even if he gets temporarily in trouble he finds a solution and with relative ease and IQ. He doesn't look dominant but he keeps it calm and clean.

Maybe picking him higher than Sow (w OT potential) was a surprise since a bunch of what seemed like similar prospects at C were still available, but looking at Senior Bowl 1v1s he looked better than all incl Schmitz.

When Gronk was asked who he thinks was the most important player for Brady he answered Andrews.
Looks like Mac could have the same answer no matter which one plays.

Have you noticed we have alot of player's with the same last name.. Harris replacing Harris... Andrews ultimately replacing Dave Andrews... odd lol...

Don't forget all the Jones'. It's just Bob Kraft being cheap again. Saves him money on new jerseys.

F'in Albert Breer pushing rumors that the Pats drafting Jake Andrews means that Dave Andrews is on the trading block.. *SMH* Guess he's never heard of having adequate back-ups.

Breer....

Doesn't Dave Andrews have some recent health issues with blood clots? I wonder if they are acting up again (pure speculation on my part).
