Lmao. I thought this was a joke for a second. That's a cute dog.

Belichick conducting the draft from his computer?

I really don't like Herbert, but I love Love. I'm not sure if I can explain it.

No need...I totally concur!

Think it would be only fair if u at least put the entire round of his tweets in.

Dobson started to look good midseason (eg. his catch against the Steelers right before the BYE). His foot injury really derailed his rookie season and cost him a bunch of the second year offseason.

I didn't see any others when I posted - I dug a little deeper and saw several people saying "What do you mean Dob?" and he was mostly responding with "I think it's clear" etc.

I thought he looked pretty good year 1 but as you said, injuries. He had a better year 1 than Harry. But - again - injuries.

It would only be realistic if he fell to the late teens, but two years ago Buffalo moved up with Baltimore from 22nd to 16th to take Tremaine Edmunds. They gave up a 1st and 3rd round pick and got a 5th round pick back. Moving up a few picks like that in the second half of the round isn't that expensive. They'd probably have to trade with the Cowboys at #17 to get in front of the Jaguars and Raiders, and it would probably take #23 and #87 and they might get #179 back for it.

In 20 years, I've never seen Belichick move up to the teens or the single digits but we've been lucky enough to have a sixth rounder as our starter. Maybe it's what the organization needs to keep winning post brady.

Why? Jordan love cannot start an NFL game right now. He needs to be developed.

Agree he would need time on the bench.

Tottie · Apr 23, 2020

lmao BB's war room is the best. It's almost like a bother for him to conduct anything but practices in the rain.

It isn't Belichick. It's McDaniels. Can't evaluate and draft skill position players at WR RB TE for sh-t.

.

McDaniels, the guy who wasn’t in the draft room prior to his appointment as OC? Who wasn’t with the team for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 drafts where they selected Taylor Price and Brandon Tate in the 3rd round?

Belichick picks the players with buy in from Caserio, and Pioli prior to him. Anyone else is just advising them.

I don't think I'd move up for anything other than a quarterback. I still expect them to trade back barring an unexpected fall for Jeudy or Tua or Becton.

Seems like a waste of a pick because you have a QB with a year already in the system. Drafting a mid round qb to be a bench warmer is a total waste. Herbert could start but he would still have to settle in.

Redman443 said:
What would a trade up for tua even look like? I would imagine they'd fork over the #23 pick at least and multiple other picks.

I’m by NO means a draft expert, but I don’t see why #23 & a 3rd rounder this year + a 2021 1st rounder wouldn’t do it; particularly if we’re dealing with one of BB’s disciples (NYG, DET, MIA) or a team like CAR/AZ who reportedly are looking to move back in the draft. Just a hunch...Maybe someone like @BaconGrundleCandy, @mgteich or @DW Toys would be of more assistance regarding draft trade value.

Wait a minute - maybe we’ve been wrong that whole time about the BB drinking OJ pic. It was Sunny D!

This whole process would be much more difficult without Caserio.

Could they put Thuney in the trade? Not sure if he would be worth a 1st rounder

VegasGuy · Apr 23, 2020

Not sure if I'm even going to bother watching tonight as I fully expect the Pats to trade back.
If I do watch, at least I don't have to wait till the last pick
like usual

Quantity over quality?

primetime · Apr 23, 2020

If I had to guess, I'd say Miami takes a tackle at 5 then moves up from 18 to take Tua if the Chargers don't take him.

Couldn’t hurt.

Think there's a lot of value in this draft from 20-50 and maybe 10-12 guys in that range who they'll value about the same, so unless some guy they have rated really highly falls, they're going to want to move back.

List of guys who interest me in the draft for the Patriots. Overall I think it's a supremely putrid defensive line draft (seriously, look below, there's like three guys I'd touch), though some good edge rushers, and great linebackers. Good group of tackles and great group of interior linemen. A ton of good receivers and pretty much nothing of interest for tight ends. Good safeties and corners.

Trade up tier (probably need to move up from #23 for a chance)
Tua Tagavailoa (QB)
Henry Ruggs III (WR)
Mekhi Becton (OT)
Jerry Jeudy (WR)

Sit tight tier (some of these guys are likely to be available at #23)
Kenneth Murray (LB)
K'lavon Chaisson (EDGE)
Javon Kinlaw (3T)
Patrick Queen (LB)
Justin Jefferson (WR)
Marlon Davidson (1T)
Yetur Gross-Matos (EDGE)

2nd round tier (would require dropping back from #23)
Darrell Taylor (EDGE)
Zack Baun (EDGE)
Josh Jones (OT)
Jordyn Brooks (LB)
Antoine Winfield (S)
Jalen Hurts (QB)
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB)
Cesar Ruiz (IOL)
Chase Claypool (WR/TE)
Jeremy Chinn (S)
Jalen Reagor (WR)

3rd-4th round tier (may be available when the Patriots round the bend from 87-125)
Logan Wilson (LB)
Cameron Dantzler (CB)
Ashtyn Davis (S)
Davon Hamilton (1T)
Josh Uche (EDGE)
Matt Hennessey (IOL)
Jonah Jackson (IOL)
Shane Lemieux (IOL)
Lucas Niang (OT)
Prince Tega Wanogho (OT)
Jabari Zuniga (EDGE)
Bryan Edwards (WR)
Gabriel Davis (WR)
Devin Duvernay (WR)
Tyler Johnson (WR)
AJ Dillon (RB)
Anthony McFarland (RB)
Albert Okwuegbunam (TE)

Take a chance tier
Logan Sternberg (IOL)
John Hightower (WR)
Malcolm Perry (TAYSOM HILL)
Isaiah Coulter (WR)
Jacob Phillips (LB)
Joe Reed (WR)
Anthony Gordon (QB)
Anfernee Jennings (EDGE)
Thaddeus Moss (TE)
Carter Coughlin (EDGE)
Dalton Keene (TE)
Austin Mack (WR)
Kendall Hinton (WR)
Cohl Cabral (IOL)
Kyle Hinton (IOL)
Josh Metellus (S)
Kevin Davidson (QB)

If Murray, Chaisson & Kinlaw are all available at 23, we better work those lines and get at least 2 of em.
