NFL Draft: Day 2

I'm good with this.

Sony goes down they were screwed. This is a different team now.

Harris is great insurance.

Who was that guy who announced that pick for us?

some season ticket holder.

He was probably rated much higher than any other players that were in a position of need. We probably needed a backup RB anyway, one that can actually run between the tackles.

Is he the same player as Sony Michel?
Solid runner. Not a pass catcher?

Bigger?

Don't understand picking a RB there, we have a lot of other needs. OT, TE, DT

There's going to be plenty of roster cuts coming to fill those needs. You don't pass on a talent like Harris here.

Ok I don't know about that pick.

I wonder about Sony knee health...maybe an insurance policy pick?!

They are morphing into a run first team. RBs take a pounding, Sony’s knee is meh and the league us getting small on D.

All part of Bill zigging when others zag. They must feel very good about Wynn, and right tackles are easier to find.

BB obviously is satisfied with his TE and DL depth

Or he just didn't like the TEs available. I see a trade coming - Rudolph or Brate, probably.

As for DL, sign Timmy Jernigan and Allen Bailey and call it a win.

Jeremy Hill.

Here's a surprise: Patriots select Alabama RB Damien Harris at No. 87. They still haven't drafted an OT, TE, DT, QB, safety.

i like it, keep sony fresh and pound teams into the ground next year

That's the problem when you keep trading down, eventually the guy you want won't be there. I trust Bill, but Warring would have been nice.

You're assuming, of course, that Warring would be the pick if the Pats had stayed at 73/77.

It's more likely that he simply didn't have that high a grade on Warring.

My reaction to the Patriots draft so far...

A lot of room for things to go wrong at tackle, hope there’s a plan to bring in some quality depth.

Injuries tend to shake out RB workload, probably figure Michel is the #1 guy, Harris is #2, and injuries will likely ensure they each get their carries.

Barring that, I'd say he basically replaces Jeremy Hill.

Veterans? Rudolph and Bailey?

Or he sees little difference between what he could take there today or tomorrow and felt Harris is a stud bpa.

I love this pick. Harris is a beast. With him and Michel we have a deadly 1-2 punch at running back.

DT - slayton
Ot - Hyatt
Te - Wesco

To go!
