DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2025 Draft Day Thread: Day Three

[LightSkinSmurf]

So this is what a draft looks like when you’re not trying to show everyone how smart you are ?

Very refreshing.

He's a great Kicker. He's never kicked below 60 degrees ever.

That would be a concern.

He's a great Kicker. He's never kicked below 60 degrees ever.

Our special teams coach coach worked out every kicker so I feel reasonably good they'll get the right one.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Is Hawes the one guy left who we don’t want to miss out on?

He’s just a blocking monster. The kind of player that makes opponents wish they never had to play against him,

Regardless of what happens from here on out this has been my favorite offseason of all time. Starting with Mayo being fired, Vrabel hired, a great free agency, and then a great draft. This is a completely different franchise/team than it was just a few months ago. The future is looking bright. Sorry Sam,, Bob D, Wozzy, and the rest who are totally disappointed in their success. I know it’s tough on you. Chins up, buttercups. Someone will poop in the pool soon.

A total evolution for the franchise. Looked like an unprofessional and incompetent organization just a year ago. I love every single little thing about the org this year so far.

I must admit that I'm not happy that Elic Ayomanor was there to be had in their trade-up and got Farmer instead. They could've gotten Ayomanor AND Farmer (if they valued him that highly). Ayomanor could end up being a stud. Other than that, I like what they've done in the draft so far.

I’m not sure what to do with him… Freak athlete. Everything and I hear about him is he is better inside and they played. Him out of position last year. I would love to see him pop this year.

I think he is best as a 34 DE who moves inside on 3rd down. I think he lacks edge agility.
But I also think his best ceiling is being Willie mcginest and staying on the edge.
Hes so in between those I can’t argue with either approach.

Springer is a massively underrated coach and evaluator

 

[PYPER]

Love the Farmer pick.....He's a Day 2 talent that fell bc of an injury. Solid pickup. Maybe we go back to offense with next pick and draft WR Tory Horton who has also fallen bc of his injury.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

not sure if they anticipated the run on DTs - but a bunch were taken right after.. pretty brilliant..

 

[Ring 6]

You don’t need 4 all pros to be a very good run defense.

You do to say “ it is impossible to run on this team”

 

[patfanken]

If we find a way to get to Sawyer, or any other possible edge defender, then I will truly be happy. I do NOT want to see another offensive player taken. Well maybe a TE.

It's all shots in the dark now anyway. And the UDFA's that will arrive tomorrow will find us some binkies as well

 

[Steve102]

Do we have any interest in Isaiah Bond? I know he’s got some chit to deal with, but is it late enough now?

 

[patchick]

Is Hawes the one guy left who we don’t want to miss out on?

Some of the CBs the Patriots showed most interest in pre-draft are still available -- Kone, Black and McWilliams. But yeah, I have a soft spot for Hawes.

Everyone doing any job is trying to be the smartest they can be.

Yup. Very well timed trade up to get the highest upside pick of the bunch.

If you can survive Mayo you can survive anything.

Only coordinator holdover, plus special terms were largely a bright spot in a dismal season,

There's still legit players at the position too out there. This is the draft if you need a dt.
