DRAFT BGC 2021 Pre-Draft/Patriot-Type Prospect(s) thread

[Hammer of Thor]

Not sure if someone has started a new thread but I am hearing BB has stated in his pre draft interview that Matt Patricia has been / is heavily involved in the personnel process ....anyone got the interview yet ????

Unfortunately NFL.com ranked the Lions 2020 draft as #29 in their February retrospective.....
2020 NFL rookie report card: Ranking each team's class, 1 to 32

Patriots‘ 2020 class was ranked #13.

Belichick was asked if he’d “overdraft” a quarterback because he didn’t think he’d be around for a later pick and said he wouldn’t rule it out, although he noted that would be true of a player at any position. He had a similar answer when it came to potentially moving up the board, which leaves things as open as they can be two weeks ahead of draft day.

How many Patriots/BB honks just died a little inside?

lol Captain...I love it that you do not hold back. I assume out of the top 5, you have Fields number 5 then?

Yep, and I'm not parting with Any high picks to acquire him either...In fact the ONLY picks I would sacrifice for him are #s 122 & 188...

 

[captain stone]

If Bill loves the g-d draft, then he has a rather, let's just say, interesting way of showing it...

If we want Mills we may need to take him earlier than anticipated

For full context, here’s the article that you screenshot:

Washington Football Team rumored to be interested in QB Davis Mills

The Washington Football Team is looking for a quarterback of the future. Could that be Stanford's Davis Mills? They're evidently interested in him.

riggosrag.com

It speculates that WFT might be interested in taking Mills in the second round. Currently WFT picks 51 and the Pats pick 46. So assuming the Pats would target Mills at 46 (and I wouldn’t make that assumption), WFT would need to trade ahead of them to draft him. If Washington wants Mills that badly they can have him. I really don’t think he’s someone worth losing sleep over.

#Tennessee’s Josh Palmer had 101 snaps vs. likely top-three round CBs: Surtain, Horn, Campbell, Stokes and Joseph.

14 of 14 in catching the “catchable balls” in those matchups (per PFF), 11 first downs, 4 TDs, and 16 YPR.

Top-10 WR in the draft for me https://t.co/PWla69l8wE

Like your passion for the draft, but posting an uncropped screen shot should get you banned from the site for 24 hours.

BB has always been willing to overdraft a player he wants, witness Jordan Richards et. al. It's an annual event

Go read all the people who've been adamantly against the idea of BB trading up in the first round this year...

I read that this was an interaction between Bill and Dan Roche.. But it's clear BB still has his sense of humor..

Based on this? Really?

No, based on his previous film study. Lazar: Examining Quarterback Justin Fields's Fit as a Potential Draft Target for Patriots | CLNS Media

I think he's just using this opportunity to reinforce his thoughts on the matter. I agree with him, for what it's worth.

I <3 you captain, and always will... but we're at a pretty big impasse here in terms of Fields lol

i don’t hate him, but I’m not wowed. I’d like to know his wonderlic score, how well he learns, processing speed, etc. All of these guys are a crap shoot, even Lawrence, who may be the best QB to be drafted in a decade.

He's apparently scored the highest ever on a sports learning aptitude test. I'd like to see other scores to compare, but first out of 6500 participants is exceptional. If he is there at four, I would not hesitate to move up. Probably a good thing I'm not in charge, though!
