DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2025 Draft Thread: Day One

[manxman2601]

We can all try and sell it however we want. But you can't argue with the facts.

No one has excelled at his measurables in this century.

The Patriots don't have the friggen luxury to be the team to try and find the outlier.

I’m not arguing the facts, I’m stating them. Yes his wingspan is poor but how often LTs block with their arms spread wide? What he does have is the athleticism to compensate.
He gives up pressure to the inside but he’s only 21 and that seems like a coachable issue to me.

Who would you take at 4? Not the short-armed Mason Graham or Jalen Walker I hope.

Hope you’re not talking about the 6’6” 325 lb Will Campbell

People aren't talking about his arms because it don't matter.

But hey, the Patriots know better than everyone else the last 26 years.

Pats should be leaking they are interested in Jeanty, even if they have no interest. It might help confirm other teams interest in him is warranted and get teams to offer a better deal to move up for him.

I really think the Giants take Dart at #3, dropping Carter to #4, and then NE ends up getting a lot of trade calls.

There's no need, this forum's doing it for them.

Maybe pats won’t trade back

The Pats would be insane not to trade back if the opportunity presented itself, especially for a small hop. If they are not open to that option, they dumber than I thought.

 

[ZoisKing]

33". So 1/2" shorter Than Membou, Conerly and Kelvin Banks and only 1/8" shorter than Ersery.

Yeah, its not how long the arms are, its how you use them.

 

[Sect140]

Maybe a Lawrence trade

Then who is their QB moving forward? They must draft one in the second round.

I like Dart.

Alot.

 

[festy1986]

Except the fact that I'm the last 26 years not a single person with his measurements have made all pro.

The Patriots can't afford to find the anomaly. This is PICK 4 were talking about here.

They need talent. They can't just hope they're the one team in 26 years to be the one who finds the guy who bucks the trend.

 

[Ross12]

Conversely if they make it clear they want Campbell then they have to make other teams pay up if the pick they’re moving down to is outside of the range of Campbell.

Like let’s say the Raiders offer pick #6 and a third. The Pats might be OK with that because Campbell is probably there at 6. But if the Bears come calling then they tell the Bears “Campbell might not be there at 10, you have to make it worth our while to possibly miss our top guy.”

Not sure how many times this needs to be posted before people on this board understand that wingspan is the real issue with Campbell: "...his 77 3/8-inch wingspan would make him the narrowest offensive tackle recorded at the combine since at least 1999."

Patriots know best. It's not like they're picking in the top 4 back to back years because they have all the answers, right?

They can't **** this up. Trade the damn pick if Campbell is your best bet.

What scoop does grilled cheese sandwich have for us?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

But there are those who claim Jeanty could not possibly help the pats because of OL. Its bs. Draft Jeanty and watch the running game take off

I don't remember anyone saying he couldn't help the Pats, but this isn't Fantasy Football Sam.
They've been kicking this fkn OL problem down the road, and where is it?
Do you WANT Drake to have to take off CONSISTENTLY because the OL SUC!KS AGAIN?
It's SO DIFFICULT to get a Franchise QB, we MAY have 1, who BTW had at least 1 concussion last year if you remember.
Why don't YOU want to try and protect something that is SO DIFFICULT to get?
BTW, a good OL can open running lanes as well.

I just don't get the Fantasy Football ****.

Thanks

I don't think it's about width it's about getting your hands on the defender
