DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread - Day 3

From a former GM:

Mike Tannenbaum
@RealTannenbaum

@UMichFootball
Michael Onwenu, who competed at the Shrine Bowl has natural play strength and can drive DL when he gets good leverage With more attention to footwork and better hand placement he can see snaps

They're butthurt they didn't get their binkie, now they're just gonna fling feces at every opportunity.

Wow, tough critic. It must be really hard and frustrating being a Patriot fan.

What makes you think Harry will be good? He couldn't beat man coverage in college, and he won't be able to beat man coverage in the NFL. He's flat out slow. Edleman is old, White is rendered irrelevant via double coverage and the rest of the guys are JAGS.

Forgot about him. Yes, he'll do.

SBLIII said:

who knows. We will see what happens these year with the young players.

If they don't develop this issue will get addressed next year

You do realize BB has drafted one quality WR in the last 20 years, don't you? I don't count Edelman as he was a conversion. Branch is the only decent WR BB has drafted in the last two decades. That level of ineptitude is almost impossible to comprehend.

I hope its the pick
I'm convinced BB is bringing in like 10 UDFAs at WR

NG Pats Fan said:

Brady the GOAT pretty much told us Harry sucked without actually saying it.

Jacoby May not make the team

Sony stinks

Byrd? JAG

white is good and will probably be the only offensive threat on our team

Harris is slower than a slug on valium

sanu is awful

Edelman is great but age 34 and injury prone

yup. this years a bit of a treading water season where we can develop whats already here. the new era starts 2021/22 for me.

It’s obvious BB has a better feel at drafting other positions than Wr. It’s not a bad idea to see how these WRs develop in the pros and then signing them as FAs. It’s worked out for us in the past.

exactly

Harry had no fast twitch in college couldn’t separate. He couldn’t in year 1.
Is he magically going to run faster with a pair of PF Flyers?

Harry didn’t produce much in college. Deebo and AJ Brown were the clear cut better college WRs with fast twitch explosive ability. Metcalf didn’t perform in college as much but he had off the charts speed and athleticism that Harry didn’t come close too

It hasn't been difficult for awhile, but times are a changin'.

Maybe Belichick likes one of the remaining WR's, perhaps not.
WR: Hill, Jennings. Porch, Hodgkins

Also, we could double dip at
TE: Bryant
OL Wanogho, Taylor
S Reed, Stone

Y'all are piling on Onwenu without cause. He's not as slow-footed as people are saying. He stays balanced and composed in pass pro and he does a decent job pulling on runs. He looks like a perfect fit for what we ask our guards to do. Played RG, and will probably stay there unless we move Thuney (which I don't want to do).

Thank you.. I haven't paid as much attention to the pre-draft stuff as I had in years past.. People like you, Manx, and BCG are ones who I turn to for reliable takes.. You three usually hit pretty well with BCG being the Top Dog.. Some of the others, you can tell just by how they express themselves that they haven't actually watched the guy or don't know the difference between good/bad techniques, footwork, etc.

iapatsfan said:

Because he isn't a brutally slow WR. That is the Patriots system...slow WRs and a weird obsession with special teams players.

Damiere Byrd ran a 4.28 at his pro day at South Carolina. That’s better than everyone in this draft but Ruggs, who ran a 4.27 at the Combine.

proche is still there?

Cut BB some slack. Re

A guy with a known injury history. Got 1 year out of him I guess. Out of the league a year later.
