Consensus is we won the draft

[Huckleberry1]

I think this is the lens through which the graders view our draft class. If Campbell is a great LT prospect, it's a great draft. If the grader thinks Campbell has to be a guard, they'll rate it lower.

The only people who would grade this class solely on the Campbell pick are the morons who pay zero attention to the draft, but pretend they know all about it because they can name the first 5 picks. And four years from now they will claim they loved it along when they have 6-7 guys out of it starting. In other words, the ****ing idiots.

Shouldn’t come as a suprise but yahoo says we won the offseason overall too. This seems to be players only so I don’t think this even factors in the addition of vrabel and his staff. A masterpiece

They started the day with 9 picks, and ended up with 9 draftees I fully expect to be game day actives to start the season. That's incredible impact.

Compare starters:
QB: Maye will be much improved in 2025
RB: Henderson adds a Jahmyr Gibbs dimension, looks like our best back since Curtis Martin
WR: Diggs better than Boutte, KWilliams better than Bourne, Hollins better than Polk
OL: Campbell better than Lowe, Moses better than Jacobs, Strange better than Robinson, Wilson better than Brown (+ better depth)
DL: entirely new line of MWilliams-Barmore-Tonga-Farmer
LB/edge: 5 new faces Landry-Chaisson-Swinson-Spillane-Gibbens
SA: now have a couple of legit FS's, plus Peppers & Dugger back and healthy
CB: added stud Carlton Davis
K: added the best kicker in college football

Kind of an unbelievable upgrade all the way around, a new & different team.

It's a nice feeling not to bury your head in shame after the draft because your head coach decided to draft the kid early from Kalamazoo who interviewed well or happened to play for a coach that he knew!

It’s nice to hear until you remember that these same people usually declare that the Jets won the draft.

I thought the Texans had a very good Draft getting OT A Ersery - and both Iowa State WR's Higgins and Noel.

3 guesses as to who has the most picks in the 2026 draft (10)?

I have a feeling they are going to have plenty of $$$ for next years free agency, and they have plenty of draft picks, so we could very well see another really strong offseason from them.

Not from reading this forum did we win??!!
Seems like the Bills won...

Greg Cosell on the Patriots draft. To summarise:

Will Campbell - He didn't give the impression he's completely sold on Cambell. Referenced his poor game against Landon Jackson. Thinks he can be good but expects some iffy reps.

Treveyon Henderson - Really really likes him. Enthused about his blocking. compared him to Brian Westbrook.

Kyle Williams - He watched his tape before the combine and didn't think he was a deep threat. Says Williams can do damage in the short game, on screens and jet sweeps.

Jared Wilson - Didn't watch him.

Craig Woodson - Really likes him. Says that Woodson does have some questions in coverage but is really good going forward. Explains that those questions are why he fell to the 4th round. Thinks he can be a future starter but also says that if you're getting 13 meaningful snaps out of him per game, that's valuable and is a win. Says he's an ideal quarters safety which is what I think we'll be seeing a lot of this year.

Joshua Farmer - Calls him Milton Williams-lite. Thinks his upside is as a good pass rushing DT. Calls him an improving player.

Bradyn Swinson - Really really likes him. Said his tape was better than James Pearce Jr. Really likes his hand usage and his ability to convert speed to power.

When you think about it you could say we have Two Rookie Classes counting last years...minus Maye obviously.

That is how I am looking at it.

It was the Patriots at the time I wrote that, now it’s the Steelers because of the George Pickens trade. You know, the guy you wanted the Patriots to give their #4 pick in the draft for? Patriots get Pickens and #21 and the Steelers get #4. The Cowboys got him for a fraction of that, a 3rd and day three picks.

I thought that they have 9 2026 draft picks with 2 4's (KC draft trade) and 2 6's (KC Uche). Which pick am I missing?

You have it right, I have it wrong.

Lmao smdh…

Felger continues his streak as the worst reporter on the NFL draft in all of radio. They have no idea about any of of it and could care less. A few years ago, before he was spanked, he spent the whole show complaining about how he hated the draft and how he could not understand how anyone was interested. The absolute, never repeatable, draft coverage in the history of radio.

How on earth did this douche-bag push the Big O and The Big Show off the air; it was just about the best sports radio ever. And why did Randy Moss allow this double-douche run him out of town?

Here is PhinsForecast where Dolphins fans are evaluating the Pats off-season and draft.

They love/fear it more than some Pats fans here.
