Something I've notice about the Pat's 2019 Draft (Kraft related)

scott99 · Apr 30, 2019

Every year, after the draft, the top pick usually comes in for a visit the day after they've been drafted, and then the next few days the other guys come for a visit as well. Usually shown around by the Kraft family.

I've noticed that hasn't happened this year, Kraft wasn't in the war room to talk to the draftees as well. I'm assuming this must be a self exile by Robert Kraft, due to his legal issues, but I'm surprised his son didn't take over that duty. I believe the Pats are the only team that hasn't flown in their draftees yet ?

If I've missed it, I apologize, but it's definitely not on Patriots.com

you missed it. N'Keal and JoeJuan were already in town. N'Keal already had an interview with patriots.com. And I saw Kraft in the war room when BB called the draftees.

Drama attempt foiled by real news.

"<first name>? A <pick's home state> man, eh? Yeah.... we're uhh....really excited to uhh...get you on board."

How could we ever live without hearing that every April?

I don’t think Harry had a jersey ceremony at Gillette with Kraft (yet) like they typically do

Not really, I didn't notice it, and it's not posted on Patriots.com. usually the visits are posted already. Also did not see Robert Kraft in the videos. It was more like a question or observation. The last thing I care about Patriot's wise, is Robert Kraft's legal issues. Just felt it was weird.

I thought the line was going to be "It blows".

I saw Kraft in the war room too, but only when he happened to pass in front of the camera. I agree with the OP that he is definitely keeping a lower-than-normal profile, but it's understandable why. Either it's self-imposed or his lawyers have instructed him to do so (maybe a bit of both) until "the troubles" "blow over" in Florida.

Saying I did not see him vs saying he wasn't there are 2 very different statements.

Hand jobs don’t give themselves. Bob is a busy guy these days.

Maybe? he has since learned of internet sites where he can self medicate by rubbing away.

signbabybrady · Apr 30, 2019

He spoke to the crowd as usual at the draft party. And as others said I saw him in the war room.

nabwong · Apr 30, 2019

His coupon was expiring.

We could've draft amani hooker, but Kraft decided to stay away with that last name!

I'm guessing they didn't draft any Johnson's for the same reason....

DropKickFlutie · May 1, 2019

He was in the war room. He didn't take the phone after BB to say anything though

Triumph · May 1, 2019

Krafts been flying under the radar and its working because Im not seeing much outrage or incessant news coverage like when the story first broke. Krafts name was on every TV and radio station just weeks ago.

Bobs lawyers are ripping those Florida gals and boys a new one.

These things usually land on the back burner and flame out as soon as something else happens thats even more sensational.

Don't jerk me around.......

This whole thing is mesmerizing. You want me to believe a 70 something billionaire widower in South Florida has to pay for it???? There are plenty of eligibles from West Palm, Boca, Ft Lauderdale and Delray who would be lined up......... (and with a driver for the Bentley he doesn't have to be able to see at night to drive)
The old expression, "the harm a person does to themselves is worse that what 100 strangers could do" rings true, allegedly.
