Duke Dawson to IR: still plans for him to return.

[Ring 6]

VV and Malcolm Mitchell were supposed to return last year as well. So I just can’t get too optimistic yet

Said those in this forum.

Can’t wait to see what @captain stone thinks about this.

He’s not coming back. He’s done for the year. Did he have an injury history? If so, I’m more disappointed in the Pats for taking him.

Lol.
You know he’s done and have decided that you don’t know if he had an injury history but now you will be mad if he did.

Why bother typing this?

I think we are well equipped to handle his absence, those two young dbs imo are better.

See Matt Cassel in '09 FA.

They could afford to temporarily franchise tag Cassel in 2009. Not feasible this time. Also, arguably the Cassel tagging in 2009 hurt team building that offseason. Maybe Bill learned from that.

Belichick is such a badass he totally just trying to show Goodell that he doesn’t give a **** about him taking draft picks, cause even if he has picks he is going to draft players who aren’t going play. Take that Goodell..

Just another 2nd round DB bust. It’s funny to me how B.B. covets 2nd round picks yet sucks at picking in the 2nd round besides one home run 8 years ago. How many 2nd round picks left on the patriots roster besides Gronkowski?

Chung.

BB has a 39% hit rate on 2nd rounders lasting over 5 years. That's about the league average

Maybe Brady will go to SF in 5 years after Jimmy retires?

I think just Chung, although several have gone on to relatively solid careers elsewhere (with JG having stardom within his reach.)

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

AT least Dawson had the decency to not play in the pre season and get anyone so hopes up.

His CB selections are even worst... Need someone else to pick CBs and NOT BillB....

Possibly the most predictable outcome. As soon as the 2nd round pick went towards a DB you knew this was gonna happen

I'm fine with Bill picking everyone.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

I don't think anybody really knows except for Kraft, BB, maybe TB and maybe JAG.

Don Yee says Hi.

I think our cornerbacks and safeties look great.

What’s your definition of hitting?

Whom we traded for a bag of peanuts

Lasting over 5 years

Falcons need to go for it here.
