Some Needs Can Be Met After The Draft If Necessary
Some needs can be met by acquisitions after the draft, if necessary. As usual, Belichick will look for upgrades and camp emergency backups for almost every position, continually. This will happen before camp, during camp, and even in the weeks after the season starts, through the draft...www.patsfans.com

What Should We Expect From A Draft?
Drafts are critical because they are the way the team gets cap bargains at various positions. We could get free agent at market value for any position. But contributors on their rookie contracts is where the bargains are. It costs lots of cap money if we get nothing out of a draft. As far as...www.patsfans.com
I had no idea "views" we're tracked?? Is that a lot?All these threads have had over 450, views, one over 800, and another over 1000.
Someone reads these threads, even if they all could be combined under the massive draft thread.
Some actually prefer shorter threads.
And, of course, some prefer non-repetitive, longer, comprehensive threads.
not alot, just shows some interest. The Draft thread has about 30K views and over 800 posts.I had no idea "views" we're tracked?? Is that a lot?
.
I wonder how many of our former player are close to signing, perhaps right after the draft. 12 of the top 100 are ex-patriots. The team could be close to agreements with Gilmore, Flowers and or Hicks. I wouldn't even be shocked to see Van Noy or Hightower back.I had no idea "views" we're tracked?? Is that a lot?
I'm just having fun man bc of the way you worded it lol.
To answer your question. Yes there will be someone available worth the pick.
You mentioned Lloyd in you're OP. Not sure he could play inside here tbh. He just doesn't like or want to be physical, take on contact. If we're going "smaller" I think we go Dean, inside. I think Lloyd could play on the los in a different role but he's just not physical if he doesn't absolutely have to be. Dean is small but has no problem being aggressive, physical and taking on contact.
Few things about LB though. We definitely could go early but we just signed Wilson, have McMillan, Bentley. None would stop us from taking someone but I think we look there Day 2/early 3.
I'm big on Dean as well. The only DT I want is Jordan Davis.I think a CB or NT on the defensive side...if Dean is there at 21, he's an interesting player as well.
On offense, our biggest need is guard, I don't think we'll take one at 21(even if Zion is available) we've proven we can select later round guards that are good(Thuney, Shaq, Andrews etc.) so I would expect to go defense with our first pick.
A name that I've been hearing that has been flying up the draft boards recently is Daxton Hill, someone to watch as well.
it confuses meSeriously, I've seen dozens of threads started that could easily fall under existing 2 or 3 threads. Should we start a new thread for every position? I don't get it.
Nakobe Dean is 6 feet tall...230 pounds of sideline to sideline fury. You actually think BB would pass on the possible next Ray Lewis?
Most would like a defensive front six player early.
I’d like a CB if the value is there. Defensive front is less important as far as I’m concerned. But I’m not into taking anyone just to pick a particular position. It also depends on how the entire class rates, and how you rate other teams’ needs. So, if you don’t take the best NT in round 1 what are the prospects for still getting a good one in round 2? Vs CB? Or WR? I dont believe anyone on this board has the resources to properly evaluate and answer those questions better than BB. So I’ll wait to see what he does. And then I’ll LMAO at the reactions here when he takes a no-name safety in round 2 just to screw with you all…I'm not sure what you're trying to say there, but I want a cornerback with our first pick. Someone has to be groomed to replace JC and he's not on the roster
He never takes a player to screw with posters on Patsfans.com. With that being said, those days of taking no name random players are over.And then I’ll LMAO at the reactions here when he takes a no-name safety in round 2 just to screw with you all…
Mega threads are tough to follow - so I'm not against breaking them up. Seriously, try looking up something like this from a year ago and having to sift through a mega thread to find it. That's why there's been less merging since this past season for the sake of making these topics easier to find and follow.Seriously, I've seen dozens of threads started that could easily fall under existing 2 or 3 threads.

I would like to see them bring Hightower back and put him on the edge and leave him there. Opposite Judon that would be a dominating edge.I wonder how many of our former player are close to signing, perhaps right after the draft. 12 of the top 100 are ex-patriots.

Patriots Draft Talk is already a sub forum of the main forum , I dont know why all the recent draft threads started to move into the main forum ?I agree with this. I get having a draft forum for 11 months out of the year, because there is so much draft interest in this board that it would over whelm the main board otherwise, but I would like to see the main board be allowed to be the primary draft board in the last month before the draft. Free agency has died out almost entirely and it’s a dead season for discussion of pretty much anything except the draft. 3-4 weeks leading up to the draft, and a week after it for people to shriek about how horrible Belichick is at his job seems like a reasonable time frame for position posts, and a mock thread, but individual posts should probably be linked under position posts. The larger draft threads just become too unwieldy at the point, with thousands of responses and hundreds of pages. So Ian, if you are reading this, I think it would be a good thing to make the main board the draft forum for the next month.
