DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2025 Draft Thread: Day One

[Uptown]

Could be (most likely BS), but what the hell; it’s draft night…

 

[reflexblue]

And it saves them hoping a LT falls in range of a trade up, that there's a team willing to pick and trading valuable picks. Campbell isn't exciting, but he's the sensible pick.

Boring but necessary

 

[Ring 6]

In contention for the dumbest post I've ever read on a sports message board.

Says the guy who can’t explain why wingspan matters.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

A lot of people think Shough is the sleeper of this draft, although he’s 26 years old.

Guy went to 8 Spring Breaks

Pats fans need some excitement. Throw us a bone Elliott.

He and fellow nepo-baby Groh did throw us Boney-T.

 

[signbabybrady]

I'm curious about those who don't want Campell (or T-mac) and who they do want at 4. There's a lot of negativity and not many alternatives offered.

I'm good with just about any of the players in that range. I think in part because LT is our biggest need, in part because there's a lot of smoke he'll be the pick, and in part because they all mostly have their own flaws Ive settled on Campbell but I'm not going to complain with a number of guys.

There hasn’t been a single Pro Bowl OT with a wingspan under 80 inches in the last 25 years. And if that doesn’t matter to you, do yourself a favor and don’t invest your own money.

What money?

He's trolling and he's gonna derail this thread if we let him.

It's best to ignore it.

Are skyscrapers more accurate than grilled cheeses?

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Yeah the best WR in the draft.

Tet is trash

Trade the **** down.
As long as there's some capital involved next year it's worth it. Outside of Hunter there's not a hell of a lot of separation into the 2nd round between players.

Carter, Campbell, Jeanty are "the best" prospects at their positions, but there's not a hell of a lot of separation between Campbell and Conerly, or Jeanty and Henderson, or Carter and Walker. Not nearly enough to stick at 4 when you can drop to 9 or 10 and pick up capital in 2026. I'd be OK taking less than "the chart".

Tet is trash

Campbell can't play his position

 

[Dedhampatsfan]

I wasn't a fan of picking Campbell at 4 but after watching his interviews I'm warming up to him. He seems to have heart and that's BIG...

 

[Ring 6]

There had t been a single All Pro OT with a wingspan under 80 inches in the last 80 years. And if that doesn’t matter to you, do yourself a favor and don’t invest your own money.

Do you understand the difference between correlation and causation?
Why does it matter? Explain why it matters. What does 2 inches of wingspan do to make a LT better? How many times does the extra one inch when extending your arm as far as it goes make a difference on a block? Can you show me a clip of a T using that inch to make a difference?

You have to ignore because you can’t answer.

And arms that are small.

Trade down is the only thing to do at this point and if any team after us in the top ten does it then the Patriots are really gonna hear about it.
