Building my Patriots Big Board: Defensive Tackles

[manxman2601]

after reading some stuff about Vincent Valentine i thought that he would become probowler.
But then i found this article
Vincent Valentine, DL, Nebraska: 2016 NFL Draft Scouting Report

repeatedly ankle issues, and work etchic issue, again injury prone reach from BB.
Hope that i am wrong.
but after observating pats drafts from 2011, they can draft some first rounders and special team players. other are busts.

I think he's got a fair bit of upside but he dertainly seems like a risk. Fingers crossed he's more Wilfork than Easley.

i think the work ethic wont be problem at the beginning, later is high possibillity, but repeated ankle sprains are huge red flag for me.
And with pats conditioning stuff i am really worried. Just think about Talib, he had injuries with us and in the Denver none. And when pats fired condtioning coach i thought that they d make progress but they promote his assisant, so i guess another season of injuries for them. I know some of u will say i am overracting and the injuries arent related, but i have a bad feeling about this.

We shall see. I'm hoping last year was a one off. The football Gods have to be on our side this year right?

and if last year draft will not show as okay this season, then i ll declerae that BB is average drafter who can really and sucessfuly evaluate talent after they played some time in NFL. He is master for trades and FA signings.

as much as i hate giants, they are constantly one of the most injured teams in NFL last 3 years, so i guess football gods dont work right next season. We need healthy season or if the football gods wanna mess with us this year i have solution. The pats should go to light god and hire Melisandre.

Don't want Brady to go the way of Stannis.

Melisandre left Stannis and went to the castle black, where sir davos asked her to take care of Jon, so BB&co is sir Davos and men on team are Jon Snow.

Sorry to interrupt the game of thrones discussion, but I just wanted to point out that Seattle signed Brandin Bryant as an UDFA. Very intrigued to watch his development.

Nice. I just posted about Bryant and Frankie Williams* in another thread before seeing this one. I don't think he could have gone anywhere better frankly. Just in terms of pure athletic upside, the Seahawks UDFA group are pretty sick. The people I follow on twitter that are Seahawks guys seem more excited by the UDFA's than the draft picks.

Frankie got signed by the Colts.
