Had a good preseason, just unfortunate he won't get his shot here:

That is like going into Best Buy and stealing a remote for a discontinued floor model that is so beat up that you can only change the channels in one direction and mute button is so smashed that it randomly mutes the TV even when no one is holding it.

... and if Belichick did it, there would be countless posts of what a genius he is.... chess/checkers nonsense.... etc......

Hope we raid their PS for somebody decent.

So not only do the Donkeys sign Perkins, but they also already have the one Bill should've picked instead of Perkins. Way to go Billy.

 

[captain stone]

Donkeys now have both Perkins and the dude Bill should've taken with the pick instead of Perkins... Which was the Brady comp pick btw...

Steal? If he was a solid player he'd be in the active roster. Denver will probably waive him in 2 weeks

Perkins was an odd fit here. in this defensive scheme a player with out a position. odd pick for the 3rd round.
I honestly get it, that the draft is a crap shoot. all teams struggle to hit with the draft.
but the Pats have a lot of misses the past 5-7 years on high picks.
thats why the team is where they are today.

 

[Wozzy]

He’s a jag.

Nobody decent is on a practice squad. It’s all projects and JAGs.

 

[Family]

He never even suited up once here.

3 weeks is the minimum.

Three weeks, since he counts on their 53-man roster that long, even if they get rid of him before then. [They also owe him three weeks' salary, too, but the CBA requires offsets in that case.]

Thanks for the details... but yes he won't last that long before the door swings shut

Look at the last 4 years when they've been picking higher. 7 years is an eternity in the NFL. Michel got taken before Nick Chubb and both of them are long in the tooth. That was ages ago, with the vast majority of those picks out of the league.

Since New England has been picking around 15-20, things have improved:

4 yrs ago: Dugger, Uche, Jennings, Onwenu. BUST: Asiasi & Keene
3 yrs ago: Jones, Barmore, Stevenson. BUST: Perkins
2 yrs ago: Strange, Marcus Jones, Jack Jones. INJURY OR BUST: Thornton, Strong
Last yr: Gonzalez, White, Mapu.

13 hits, 5 misses.

I'd say this is better than league average.

2019 has been left out. That was a bust draft . And barmore is not coming on like Uche did in his 3rd year. Strange and Jones have béen average - above average players , not homerun like deebo, Metcalf etc . So we are not better than league average. It's just in our eyes we have an exalted view
