DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Draft Day 3 LIVE Discussion Thread

[upstater1]

Was just 2 guys in 2015, not 3, my mistake. But both guards taken in the 4th round. Yes, Jackson had a knee problem.

Mafi and Andrews seem to have a talent problem. Sow looked decent at RG, I agree. But if Strange is hurt, they need someone else to play LG.

I expect Wallace to be our RT. Onwenu has to move over to RG. Sow at LG.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

No idea - but there wasn't anything on Wallace on the left side either online until he said he could play it, and Wolf said the same thing. Have to wait a bit.

he has no LT experience, they assume he can play it, they did not try him there in games, Wolf means this in theory

 

[DaBruinz]

Oh so you talked to Van Pelt and Peters?

I looked at the ROSTER. Try it sometime.

Strange, Steuber, Onwenu, Sow, Mafi, McDermott, Leverett, J. Andrews, Michael Jordon.


Meanwhile, they don't have anyone opposite Gonzalez and have huge questions with every other player in the CB room. But yeah.. let's add at the deepest position on the team.

 

[ZotZot]

Onwenu and Sow are good guards.

Our OL looked good once everyone got healthy

Mike is probably going to play tackle this year, after him none of the rest are untouchables. I like Sow too but the rest have questions about them, I am fine with drafting an IOL here

 

[signbabybrady]

Seems pretty clear that the staff isn’t particularly happy with some of the the OL holdovers. I don’t mind the player but I do think he would have been available later on to select.

I don't think 3rd and 4th rounders indicate anything

 

[jmt57]

Pats finally found the second coming of Hjalte Froholdt.

 

[mike_usagisan]

no tackle experience has he?

Our LT prospects mostly don’t have LT experience. Maybe we can move Ryland to LT.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I expect Wallace to be our RT. Onwenu has to move over to RG. Sow at LG.

Wolf made it clear in his presser that they’re trying Wallace at LT. Might not work, but seems clear that’s how they view him right now.

 

[Ian]

This is a bad sign about all of those interior linemen acquired the last few years, especially Strange

Wonder if his knee is worse than some are saying.

 

[DaBruinz]

Wallace took a few snaps there in games.. Less than 0.2%..

okafor has, the rest as well due to last year i think

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Hope they don’t move too far back.

I hope not
If they go down 10 spots they can get a late 5th or early 6th.
If that is worth it. Depends on their board

 

[upstater1]

If this isn't our OL by mid season, I'd be shocked (unless we signa. FA):

Okorafor/Anderson
Sow
Andrews
Onwenu
Wallace

It's certainly possible that Robinson is better than Sow, but we didn't need that upgrade.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

ok, i count that as nothing but thanks

 

[Ian]

The only thing it tells me is that Wolf sucks at managing resources. Especially since HE had major input on the players drafted last year.

Andrews and Sow played very well last year.

With all the players they already had on the O-line, drafting Robinson is piss-poor use of resources. And it doesn't matter if they are signing Gilmore. They have bigger NEED at CB and Safety than they do at OG. T

I don't know...I just said it but it could be an indication that Strange might be in bad shape.

 

[Wozzy]

Pats finally found the second coming of Hjalte Froholdt.

Hjalte Froholdt was a stud athletically, bigger and stupid strong... this kid isn't any of those things and he's a featherweight.

 

[upstater1]

You only need 2 guard starters. If Mike Onwenu is at RT, then the selection of Caden Wallace at 68 was a failed pick.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

I don't know...I just said it but it could be an indication that Strange might be in bad shape.

agree and mafi apparently was really bad

 

[dex13]

I expect Wallace to be our RT. Onwenu has to move over to RG. Sow at LG.

They are trying Wallace at LT. Onwenu still at RT.

Some would argue that criticizing the DBs here is misguided. Gonzalez can play opposite of J Jones with M Jones in the slot. The S play - a solid trio - was also a contributor to a good season on D. Depth by numbers doesn’t impress if the OL is suspect, which it was at times.

I hear your point, but I disagree with saying CB is more a need than OL.
