How do you generally like this years draft class?
The reason I ask, is that I'm not that stoked. There are obviously players that I like, but I can't say I have that many binkies this year - if any.
Did I just not spend enough time on research this year or is my feelings shared by others?
Why Madubuike? We need run-stuffers, not 3-techs.
Updated board. Might shuffle some names around but this is a good idea of who's left ...
So I don't think it's a great draft either. I've been reading draft guides on the athletic and it seems like there are a lot less consensus on guys than normal. It seems like there are very few unanimous positive opinions on players which speaks negatively towards the class.
I do think there is some great depth in this draft and even more variance in terms of opinions on players due to COVID-19. Rounds 2-4 seem stronger this year than other years imo, so the Pats are in a good spot.
I think the Patriots will find a number of starters tonight, even if they might not find any all pros.
We need someone that can take it to the house or that can stretch a defense.
he might be like that little safety that Indy had the year the won the Super bowl. Him coming back turned things around for Indy at the end of the season. He ended up retiring after some neck injuries, but that kid could fill a hole and hit even at about 5'9"5'9 Safety? Is he like Honey Badger?

That's the first time I've heard Kmet comped to Mark Bavarro. If that were true he'd be a consensus top ten pick.
Yeah If we thought he was Bavaro we don’t even think about trading the pick thinking he’d be there at 37.
You don't think Slater fly routes are enough?
But seriously - Brady's deepball accuracy wasn't good (2018-19 Deep Ball Project | Football Outsiders). Even teammate Case Keenam was possibly better (The 2019-20 Deep Ball Project (Part 2/3)). Perhaps Stidham now gives us a chance to stretch our offense.
He's in that mold, even if he's not as talented. I wish he were a bit more dynamic, but he's the best shot we have of upgrading the position for cheap IMO.

Love Taylor, reminds me of a way lesser AP, great balance of speed and power that we don't see much anymoreThis is unpopular but I would consider RB Jonathan Taylor at #37 if he's still there. I'm still a bit worried about Michel long-term, and the fact that Damien Harris got redshirted the entire year is not a good sign. Jonathan Taylor is a great runner, and unlike Michel, he has home-run speed.
Again, he's not my first choice, but I would think about it if he's still there.
Is he clearly head and shoulders above Trautman?
My opinion is that the Pats are not Super Bowl contenders next year and we have a lot of holes on our roster that need upgrading. I'd rather take a BPA approach. Kmet is nowhere near the 37th best player in the draft IMO, but I do understand that TE seems to be a difficult position to fill.
Just finished one...For what it's worth, The Draft Network has updated their Mock Draft Simulator to reflect last night's results.
