Busy Day: Pats Sign Matt Tobin

Re Tobin and the comp pick formula

It depends on the value of the contract. If it was a vet minimum deal, it ain't gonna count.

He'll be gone by week 9

 

[RobertWeathers]

This team has other pressing needs especially at LB. I am not in love with the OT class

LT is not a pressing need?

 

[Tony2046]

Ughhhhhhh.......bottom of the barrel

That'll teach Brady not to whine during the offseason.

While he hasn't lit up the league, Tobin is at least quite athletic. Scar can work with this.

Height: 6060
Weight: 303
40 Yrd Dash: 4.90
20 Yrd Dash: 2.88
10 Yrd Dash: 1.75
Vertical Jump: 28 1/2
Broad Jump: 08'11"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.62
3-Cone Drill: 7.69

If he is on the team after week 10 it will count as cancellation pick no matter the contract, playing time etc. It will not be awarded if its not top 32. But unfortunatelly it will cancel the lowest gained (so far Bademosi probably 7th)

Falls a little short of what I look for (vert of 30 plus, shuttle of 4.50 or better) but still adequate.

Clayborn is playing both ways. He's our starting LT

[FoxboroFlyer]

He looks like the grown up version of the kid on "stand by me"! Vern?

 

[Brady6]

I wish the draft class was a little more solid at the position though. Miller and O’Neill are nearly Solder clones in terms of size and athleticism but both are in need of some Dante care and attention and I’d be nervous starting them day one. So I hope one of Fleming or Waddle come back.

I think Garcia has the tools to be a top LT.

Crazy to think that Vern transformed himself into top qb frank cushman in Jerry Maguire.

I hope you're right, but there is no certainty he'll even play again.

 

[manxman2601]

I think Garcia has the tools to be a top LT.

But he does need to put the weight back on. No small thing and why I’m not counting on him for this year. And fwiw, I was one of Garcia’s biggest fans last year.

Those are not too far off the numbers Doug Kyed reported for Hill, especially the 3 cone and shuttle times (see below). Can Tobin hold on to the ball and not fumble? Maybe Fears could work with him instead of Scar...

[primetime]

All these big Iowa corn boys. Guess we'll find out if he can beat out his mini-me, Cole Croston, for a spot at the end of the roster.

 

[Bonzo]

Huge Waddle fan here.

<--Huge waddling fan here.

Tobin?
Obviously a bridge until one of the young players is ready.

You have it backwards: if the contract would count, releasing him before week 10 causes it not to count.

But if the contract wouldn't count, then he can play every snap all season and it won't cost them a pick.
