Big News Day. Tre Jackson Waived




Pats have increasingly been looking at interior OL in this draft.

 

[Mack Herron]

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Man people thought he was a great pick up and a better prospect more sure thing than Mason.

 

[supafly]

It's good to see that they don't consistently try to fit a square peg into a round hole. When it isn't working out, they cut bait and move on. I'm assuming that Jackson's injuries may still be playing a role.

 

[AtomicDawg]

And more news.

Man people thought he was a great pick up and a better prospect more sure thing than Mason.

He was good value in the fourth round and given the offense Mason played in Jackson was the more sure thing than Mason. Looks more like the medical staff was a bit too optimistic given his knee issues.

It makes sense.

IOL
Developmental OT (In other words, this probably waits until next year, and becomes the need for a starter level OT)
DL
LB
Slot CB

That's really all they need to focus on, unless I'm blanking on something/someone

Thats how I see it. I think a TE3 might be a possibility. They've been looking at a few OL of late in the draft, both at tackle and on the interior.

Tre just couldn't come on the field. Sadly, but expected after not coming back from PUP for so long..

1. edge (w some lateral speed)

It's a strong draft at safety, and while the free safety role is certainly in good shape, the depth chart at strong safety is Chung, Richards, and Ebner. And given that Chung has been part of the solution at the LB role (with the Pats using an extra DB as a LB), I think they need better depth there.

Tre Jackson was not good value in the 4th round, or in any round. He was a fat-ass, unathletic, injury-prone stiff from Florida State, the same school that produced the injury-prone Bryan (If Bill Wanted a Center Then He Should've Drafted Russell Jethroe Bodine) Stork. Another waste of a draft pick, again. And once again, those who warned that Jackson was a bad pick were proven correct, again, and Bill was proven wrong, again.

Yup. Should have added that as I have Delano Hill as one of my 'most likely' picks this year. Good spot.

You gotta stop sugar coating stuff and say what you really mean.

...Bill was proven wrong, again.

time to do something about that, huh... and I think Scar even liked those FSU guys... maybe time to clean house!

Chung = Don Davis

He's basically his own position. The Patriots, for the most part, no longer use a real strong safety.

Let me do a blind, ignore-list guess... captain stone *****ing about BB's drafting again ?

Yeah, i had high hopes for jackson.

umm...if you bet against every pick in the draft you would make good money...the odds are vastly in your favor...your comment is useless

start calling the correct picks and then we can talk

 

[MitchKumstein]

Bill was proven wrong, again.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of Bill being wrong about everything. When are the Patriots going to wake the hell up and cut bait with this Belichick clown?

And they should put Brady on notice while they're at it, his act is getting old too
