DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION OFFICIAL 2021 NFL Draft - Day 3 Discussion Thread

[ashley]

This group is much improved from last year

 

[Love The Drake]

Agreed. It seems like BPA is the mantra this year.

The real question is why wasn’t it every year.

 

[50-yard-line]

Forsythe, Trey Smith, and Moore still there for OL.

Shi Smith sitting there, waiting for the Pats to call...

 

[jmt57]

Bacon had him as a 3rd-rounder for the Pats. It's almost like he knows what he's doing.

Perhaps when Robert Kraft had his sit-down with Belichick about changes that needed to be made regarding the team's drafting philosophy and strategy, one of his instructions to BB was to read through @BaconGrundleCandy 's pre-draft threads.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Something definitely feels different.

Maybe the unknown Rutgers secondary players were always Caserio’s doing?

no safety’s taken yet!

It has been

 

[RobertWeathers]

Unlike the first four picks which are great i'm underwhelmed with one.

Smallish for our scheme (unless we are changing it which I highly doubt)

Blown ACL so a long shot to see meaningful snaps in 2021.

Not much of a coverage guy.

Meh.

 

[Deus Irae]

Because best overall value is usually smarter than best player.

 

[Zuma]

Thats ok with me, Hall was a backup and the only time i was impressed with Bentley was his rookie pre season games.

Bentley was very good his rookie season before he got injured...hasn't been the same since

 

[manxman2601]

Agreed. It seems like BPA is the mantra this year.

I think that’s the big takeaway from this draft. Whether that’s a culture change or whether they went safe because of the unique nature of this draft is the question. I’m hoping for the former.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Simi was the more value pick, but I guess the Cowboys saw what I saw as well.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Forsythe
D brown
Z mcpherson

My wife’s a cowboy fan I hate her right now

Obviously you haven't watched him .

Plays big - just put on the tape, it helps.. And can cover both zone and man well enough for what Pats ask, lateral he's a killer

 

[Betterthanmost]

Time for a kicker or WR. Which is it going to be Bill. Which is it?

 

[reflexblue]

Wasn't he injured at the end of training camp that year, in one of the pre season games?

 

[DaBruinz]

Adding Moore and Forsythe would give the Pats really good depth on the O-line. Especially since it seems that we've have had issues at Center and Guard each of the last two years..

 

[zimmy]

I'm not sure he's small for our scheme. Similar size to Jerod Mayo and as a lesser draftee Elandon Roberts.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Baltimore have taken FB Ben Mason

As much as I would of liked Ben Mason On this team as I think he is more natural at fb than anyone in this draft or on our current roster.

However, Pats have put a lot of work into getting Jakob Johnson and Dalton Keene nfl ready. Gonna stick with them and see what the coaches abd their hard work can do.
