NFL Draft: Day 3

[Clonamery]

Time to work on the UFDA list, Bill.

 

[Froob]

Guess they probably like having a cheap punter locked up..? Weird for Allen. Wonder if they could IR the rook?

 

[Mike the Brit]

Patriots drafted a PUNTER??? That's this years WTF moment..Especially after trading up..

Never change, Bill! Never change!

 

[manxman2601]

Well we’re all but done. Terrific draft. On to UDFA apart from that remaining 7th.

 

[PatsFan2]

So according to BB TE wasn't a Need??

 

[50-yard-line]

It was a ball bust - Bill knew Vrabel was gonna jump him again, so moved up just because...

 

[captain insano]

im good with all the picks except rb and punter. love taking a qb.

Ryan Allen has 100K dead money, frees up 1.4M. From overthecap.com

 

[bakes781]

They have the 3rd to last pick in the draft left. Might as well trade it in for a happy ending lol too soon?

 

[Redman443]

if our picks live up to the hype, this draft could be our best since 2012.

good. could use that money for a trade.

 

[TomPatriot]

Why does BB have a problem with Ryan Allen? Is it just the money?

Money, I would think. Plus this punter can also kick off. I wonder if there are problems with his holder role.

 

[ctsports]

I can’t believe everyone is missing the bigger picture on Bailey. He ran a 4.72 at the combine. The Pats will put 40 pounds on him and have an instant move TE. Bill is always one step ahead.......

He doesn’t. You’ve been around long enough : you know BB has a ST fetish.

Caserio « Everyone on the board is gone »
BB « Linda’s making me go to this BS thing tonight. Ok, here’s what we do : trade up to grab a punter. Who’s the top punter ? »
Caserio « kid from Stanford »
BB « ok, whatever, grab him. Then this summer it’ll make those ST players think I actually care about them. And maybe freak out a few teams along the way. »

I just noticed that Hoyer has a 3m cap hit this year, with none of it guaranteed. I think he's gone.

Keep him on speed dial if needed......

 

[ctpatsfan77]

The thing I just don't get is the lack of a TE. [Then again, I suppose it might be my fault, with the all-TE draft entry.]

 

[SBLIII]

Harmon dropping to the 6th round is shocking.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

I just noticed that Hoyer has a 3m cap hit this year, with none of it guaranteed. I think he's gone.

That's not correct: $1.5M of his salary is guaranteed.

 

[manxman2601]

So four of our picks were draft visits: Harry, Stidham, Cowart, Williams. Terez Hall could make it five.

 

[50-yard-line]

Keep him on speed dial if needed......

I was wrong on this - he has 1.5m guaranteed.
