If that tackle has 1st RD value, sure. If he doesn't, you're just throwing your biggest problem at your biggest asset and hoping for the best. Hoping for the best without Scar. Who gave us a lot of flexibility in that department.
I'm not a draft guy like you but there's usually 3 or 4 at least that go in first rd. And usually one or 2 top ten so either scenario we are probably looking at the 3rd or 4th one.
Actually 10-6 in 2007 and 9-7 in 2011.
Hard to believe with Troy, wish we could get Wes or Jules to help coach receivers.
I know you are a big draft guy so I’d love your opinion. I’ve seen more consensus top 20 tackles (Skoronski, Johnson and Jones) than receivers (Johnston and Addison) in mocks. Are you higher on other receivers or just lower on the tackles I mentioned?
I think the pass protection got a little better while the run blocking got worse.
Absolutely but 2-3 will probably go top 15. Those 1st RD value guys might be gone sitting where we're at without a trade. So much depends on these last two games. The drop off is huge so we'll what happens. I just want to make sure we match talent & value with our need.
I love Skor and think he's a really good NFL player but I'm not a coach so no idea where he'll play. A lot will depend on landing spot. Here or GB for example he might get a shot at tackle but his length might scare some teams. It does show up with certain rushers. He allows guys to get inside and I think nfl talent will take advantage of that but his hands are plus. Probably my second favorite part of his game. Great accuracy, placement & striking. He's able to fight, gather and reset. Really good at hitting specific aiming points (outside bicep, under outside shoulder or chest) during rushes. Certain guys (Foksey, Ojabo) got inside his chest and were able to beat him up field a few times. Hes stepped in for Slater and has been very very good. I absolutely love his lateral ability, steps/movements. Maybe my favorite part of the his game. Really impressive agility, very nimble. Quick, smooth, no wasted effort very efficient! Some of the best of I've seen in a while. Foot speed and footwork are plus. Able to adjust, mirror in pass pro without losing any power or leverage. He's an easy mover getting to second level but has to improve handling quicker DB/LB. He's good at making first contact but his lack of length and change of direction shows up against those guys. They're able to get underneath, around him too easy. He'll fit in any run scheme day 1 with some cleaning up there and his pulling. Seems smart very rarely fooled. Picks up games well. Many offers from big schools. He has experience at C from HS. His grandfather is in the HOF I believe and played for Lombardi.
I like Paris I just think he needs a good amount of work on his technique against advanced rushers. He's got all the tools you'd want but just allows himself to neglect his considerable advantages too often. He's got the fight and nasty. He's got the size and length. He just needs to really polish up his technique in certain areas. Get stronger and add a little more quick twitch to his game.
Broderick I'm assuming. Love to highs and lows aren't incredibly low but he's got a lot of cleaning up to do before he's a quality starter. Just inconsistent hands, footwork is messy and slow at times. He's inconsistent hitting his marks in zone and has to get stronger to hold up in a power scheme or against power rushers. His flashes are bright with athleticism, ability to process work, finish whats in front of him or recover if beat. Seems like a smart player when it comes to twists and games.
I think it's a good tackle class but just not as top heavy as the last few years (Thomas, Willis, Becton, Wirfs, Sewell, Slater, Cross, Neal, Icky)
I was thinking about putting together a list of players that the Pats have let go but I didn't want to make anyone cry.
I think that comes under making hay while the sun shines. The Pats have dominated them for so long that now that their having success against the Pats they want to enjoy it before it ends.
I can't think of anyone who would help this team other than Thuney, and he was really let go in the year we paid the piper.
Your heart is correct and your mind is wrong. Losing is for losers.
