we took Ellis Hobbs Jr. with our first pick of the day...krist

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Yup i was right - they took a special teams maven.

 

[PittPatriot]

Well, I got so excited over Wilhite and Wheatley and talk of "loose hips" a few years ago that I will just let this one take some time to sink in.

 

[zipster9]

Yuck (too short for a DB). But, at least he does not have a "injury history" (Ras-I-Dowling) OR a non-ranking (Tavon) DB..

We're going to have the best practice squad ever

 

[patsinthesnow]

Ellis Hobbs part II (who I liked and was a solid #2 CB)

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Like the pick, although I expected it in the 3rd. But the run on DBs shows they thought we needed him now.

We lucked out last year with only Brown getting hurt at CB. If anyone else got hurt it would be a disaster. Now Coleman can spend some time on the outside, Jones can play a solid nickel, and has great special teams value. Happy with this. Plus I got my first non-Navy pick right in the draft contest!

I don't know wtf that even means.

I'd rather have a all pro player.

 

[Sciz]

inch shorter than Butler

NFL heights are weird. We know Butler is 5' 9¾", but he's listed at 5'11". Jones is an eighth of an inch taller, but listed an inch shorter.

 

[Wheelman]

Aaaaand ESPN goes to commercial. In the past I said 'meh it's coincidence'. Now, this year when it's their first pick after the Deflategate BS, they don't even mention the missing pick, don't even acknowledge the Patriots picking at 60 then jumping to commercial?

Come the **** on, I'm so sick of this.

I'm glad they did. I got to watch NYJFL* Network analysis and BSPN analysis when they came back from commercial.

 

[hambone1818]

Let this be a lesson to you. Change to the Sox-Yankees and follow the draft on the web.

HA! Literally was doing this when I saw the alert. I turned to the draft to see the Pats pick, lo and behold it jumps to commercial and I see the pick on here while ESPN is on commercial.

Whatever, go Sox!

 

[Julius]

Was Cyrus Jones the best nickle corner in this draft?

 

[English Patriot]

It's no joke Clem, Bama and Ohio St guys are money. They've dominated college football so i'm happy getting a Bama guy and not a damn Rutgers nobody

 

[PatsFanSince74]

I am new to your country.

What is this thing that you all call a "Draft?"

I do not know anything of it.

Does it mean that a window was left open?

Or is it perhaps a method of conscription for the military?

You beat me to it. Same exact thoughts about EHIII.

 

[Jackson 2]

Yup i was right - they took a special teams maven.

Who is "they?"

 

[manxman2601]

I don't know wtf that even means.

I'd rather have a all pro player.

I'd rather have someone that fits the system.

Jones is good punt return insurance if we cut Amendola.

Or PR insurance to keep JE/DA ST's hits down. Also alleviates fears of another denver blunder...not bad for the back end of the second. Not sure we cut DA Manx, I'm thinking we try to limit his hits and keep him healthy, ditto for JE. I'm still big on the rb out of Georgia...projected 6th, size and speed baby.
