When Vrabel said the we need to affect the opposing QB that tells me its Carter or Mason Graham and either one is a huge need. Love em both
He also said he wanted to make the OL sound and strong. I agree with you on Carter and Graham and they are my preferred choices but I do wonder whether Will Campbell gets a look. Not so much because he's a need (which he is), but because he's a real leader on the OL which would set the tone for the OL moving forward.

I would be disappointed to pass on Carter/Graham for him, but I do think there's a logical argument for it at least.
 
Mason Graham hands down should be the pick over Abdul Carter. We had problems stopping the run this year and that will end with him, Keion White and hopefully Barmore back. We can't count on Barmore being back (though I think he will be) and Graham has the size and athleticism to be his replacement if needed.
I wouldn't say hands down because Carter is terrific but I would have Graham marginally ahead of Carter on my board for the Pats. I do think this team needs to rebuild from the lines on both sides of the ball (that doesn't mean I wouldn't sign a leading FA receiver though).

I don’t think we can go wrong with either. Back in the day.
1. Seymour
2. Light

Present
1. Graham
2. Ersery (May have to move up)

I’m a PSU alum. So, I’m bias towards him. I’m curious to see Carter’s weight at combine.

I love Campbell's make up. If his arms measure out, he's my pick.
 
Matthew Golden 6'1 190 just declared I think he's better than Isaiah Bond 5'11 180.

Bond is a slot. Don't think we need him.

We said the same about Ladd.

 
Exactly, Bond showed nothing special last games.
 
Bond disappeared in Big Games I prefer M Golden who rose to the occasion. I wouldn't touch Bond until the Third Round.
I love everything Texas Longhorns, but I don't really want either. Golden looks to be more explosive of the two.

Who to pick as a WR is really dependent on who's going to be OC and what type of system is going to be in place.

Both could be good value in the Second and Third Rounds. Golden on a slight Trade Down in the Second and Bond anywhere in the Third.
 
I know level of competition might be a concern but I like those Two WR Prospects below. Day Three value guys.

FWIW, Dane Brugler says Texas are "way more bummed" about Golden leaving than Banks.
 


Is this Tet McMillan?
 
But please not with #4.
Might start putting Tre Harris in my mocks. From draft Buzz:

  • Masterful at the catch point - displays exceptional body control and timing to box out defenders and high-point throws like a power forward snagging rebounds
  • Natural hands-catcher who plucks the ball away from his frame with vice-grip mitts, rarely allowing it into his body even in traffic
  • Elite ball tracker on deep routes who feels defenders and adjusts his path without losing speed, making him deadly on go routes and posts
  • Physical monster in the red zone who understands how to use his frame to wall off defenders, giving his QB a massive catch radius
