“What the H$&$” Patriot picks that turned out Good!

As a guy who liked Ryan Allen, our current punter Bailey annoyed the hell out of me but not bad. Slater was high for a st and Edelman was a wr who never played wr and I didn't understand why we would waste a pick like that.

I'm hoping Damien Harris fits this soon. We had about a million running backs and needs at tight end but we draft this unnecessary rb who doesn't even play in the third round. Plus, outside of D. Henry, all Alabama running backs are overrated.

Sorry Ron Borges, we didn't

BS. Seymour was random and came out of nowhere. Terrell was big time coming out of Michigan.

Elijah said:

Yeah. Still don't know why he dropped off so badly in 2011. The defense that year was one of the worst of all time, so it's hard to say whether it was because of McCourty's dropoff or vice versa.

Scheme change... they were playing more man and DMac struggled as a result.

Sorry Ron Borges but nobody knew who DavidT was equally. It's not like we were cheering the Seymour pick but zero say again zero people were up in arms that DavidT wasn't picked.

Lol. That’s why most mocks had Terrell to the Pats.

Whatever makes you feel better.

Nope. Sorry Wrong Borges.

.

A few people have already mentioned Slater : we were wrong about that guy.

I’ll go Cardona. Haha. What ? A long snapper with military requirements ? Yet, there he is, still going strong.

I’ll just leave this here...

Sebastian Vollmer

I remember people noting that ESPN didn't have tape available for him on draft night.

Then we saw the tape of Scar leading his Pro Day.

I’d say Nate Solder.

And it was nothing against Nate. I just remember realllllly dying for a top flight pass rusher at the time. I mean, when your top pass rusher the year before is Mike Wright...

That year had Von Miller, JJ Watt, Robert Quinn, Mo Wilkerson, Cam Jordan, Cam Heyward, Justin Houston, Ryan Kerrigan...

Damnit.

Well Nate you were still a very fine player for quite a while and brought stability to the blind side of the line.

Gronkowski. I remember couch scouting and thinking this guy is a huge medical risk. And then the show right after the selection with his dad and brothers had me laughing and I eased up a bit.

Deion Branch... Never heard of him... Louisville not on TV much if at all here in Boston....but he was pretty damn good in 2 stints w Pats

Vollmer. All the talk was that we had taken a 7th rounder in the 2nd.

Branch and ridley were reaches. Branch was amazing, ridley was good for a couple years. Mccourty and mankins definitely.

Richard Seymour. You know you wanted David Terrell.

That guy's career highlight was that most people thought he should have been picked over Seymour.

....turned out WELL.

Not a “who the f is that” but I admit I was mad when we took Seymour over Terrell. Thank god we did.

Ron Borges, btw what happened to old Ronnie?? Glad that lover of Pats "Nontroversies" has moved on to punching older men with walkers in the face..

Ravens beaut of a pick that year too... Could have taken Penn states Sean Lee though...

The Pats made the right selection with Gronk despite my opinion on the selection ... Thats why they work at Gillette and I comment on message boards lol

I'm not aware of any evidence he has coin flipping skills.
Divining, yes. One might say a coin flip auger. A prophet, even.
