DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2026 NFL Draft Day 3

[DoubleDeluxe]

Will that be before or after TreVeyon my wayward son?

Perfect!
a little Kansas/Ram Jam collab!

Beheren Morton reminds me of a cross between Purdy and Mac Jones.

I don't think maye has to worry

This is a good question. A LT probably drafted to play right, and a RT drafted to be the swing.

Onwenu's days are numbered.
This is a win for all Patriots fans everywhere.

I really love that both guys could provide us a ton of versatile options in the future that could open up in the event Campbell doesn’t figure out LT.

This board’s odd hatred for Onwenu just because of his contract has always amused me.

 

[manxman2601]

Sorry @DaBruinz

He's the reason they can't run screens.

Wallace's days are far shorter.
If Hide and Seek was a profession he would be a HOFer.

Crownover feels like the more logical choice to be the new RT and Lomu the LT but then what does Campbell do? I suppose theoretically you could bump AVT to RG and Campbell to LG but that’s a heck of a lot of projecting…

For 2026 I assume Lomu is the top backup OT and Crownover the #4 tackle.
2027 Lomu the RT and Crownover the top backup OT.
Maybe Crown could switch to OG and be Ownenu replacement in 2027.
Not sure he can make that switch, he's got really long arms which could be a detriment at OG.
If Campbell struggles at any point, we have two OTs waiting to help.

Yes, that, and the continued hatred for Campbell and/or hope that he will not succeed at LT

Rich Eisen gets me balling and donating every year….great guy and cause for St. Jude’s….if you haven’t donated to them ….look into it!

Monthly.
Take care of the kids.

He didn't like Maye.

Never liked Simms

 

[Clonamery]

And I’m saying it’s unlikely at best that these guys were not aligned on the picks that were made despite Vrabel’s physical absence.

You're right.

 

[Real fan 02]

He is definitely the Alpha.
I think it was during the Lomu interview (but can't remember which prospect it was for sure) and he said is soon a he walked in the room it was immediately evident who was controlling the room.

Yes! Absolutely correct

Alpha & in control is exactly what you can first see whenever Vrabel's presence comes in. I was watching our draft picks interviews and they all said the same thing regarding Vrabel of how they were impressed with him and how they wanted to be here.

I would hope Maye wouldn’t need to worry even if the Pats chose a QB with actual upside.

I hated the QB pick, there were much better candidates out there, even ones who could have filled a gadget role, like Haynes King, rather than a low ceiling low floor guy.

Wast of a pick

The issue with someone like Haynes King as QB3 is that he's a very strong personality, an alpha type. You don't really want that in the locker room if you've got an established QB already, especially a relatively young one. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.
