Just because the ESPN mediates had him ranked lower does not mean that he will suck. He can play both guard and center and fixing the line is very important with mason gone and andrews getting long in the tooth. I do think they should have tried to trade up for Penning or David
Rebuilding this team will mean prioritizing the lines
But where were Thuney and Mason taken? If he's at their level, he's not at their value.To justify it at 29 he needs to be on thuney and masons level.
So the Pats created a self inflicted hole on the O Line as noted above and the tried to fill it by taking a huge reach in the first round. Ok . . . Great oneWe traded Mason for a 5th and passed on re-signing Karras to take a center in the first round? Awful use of assets.
Because they need a long term guard/center solution desperately. He has to start by strengthening both lines...then they will be competitive.It’s not a bad pick due to the player. I bet he’ll be good.
Why pick a damn guard at 29???
Yeah I'm saying what keeps it from being a bust pick.To justify it at 29 he needs to be on thuney and masons level.
Not just ESPN. BCG here had him as a 3rd rounder. Obviously we hope he works out and appears to be a decent enough prospect, but over Dean? Over Hill? Over Travis Jones? Point is, we think they could have picked one of those guys and he would still be waiting for them in the 2nd if they wanted.I mean he could be a good long term solution.

Is that even a question?
I am no longer a patriots fan. I renounce my fandom until bellichick is gone
The Patriots were taking one, too.Just got back from taking a sh*t. What did I miss? Did they pick somebody good?
