DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 1

[State]

At least we didn’t trade up for him. A legitimate NFLer with way above the norm physical traits. But questionable value at pick 29 to say the least.

 

[Spiral]

"You can always get a guard...from Tennessee-Chattanooga in the first round"

There, I fixed it for you Bill.

 

[203Pat]

Exactly.
One never knows when they're going to hit a home run.
That is why it is better to have more quality picks.
The difference between 21 and 29 ... no big deal

Until we look back on this draft two years from now and McDuffie is a solid corner and Jermaine Johnson is a stud.

 

[Since1960]

I can’t predict players for crap, but I certainly can predict fan reactions because it is always the same every year. Pats fans always hate the first round pick.

So tomorrow the Pats are likely to pick a player in the second round or third round that people will feel he is a round higher value because there is always a player they feel is drafted a round too early and other that is drafted a round lower than he should go in the first three four rounds. Strange is the guy people feel should have gone a round later. So they could draft someone like Dean in the second round.

Yeah, probably right - No point wasting one of our 3rd rounders on this guy …

McVay is a POS

McVay is the coach of the reigning champs, was in 2 of the last 4 Super Bowls, is one of the top tier coaches in this league AND has verbally kissed Bill Belichick’s ass on numerous occasions in the media. He actually respects Bill a lot. He’s just legitimately stunned by this pick.

Let’s be real, this was the only pick that all the networks had nothing on standby for to talk about because it was such a reach.

 

[Deus Irae]

I meant almost always. And that is true.

No it's not.

 

[Redman443]

we do not know for certainty when he would be picked. They probbaly tried to trade back but no takers.
This is clearly not going to be a transformational draft....and pats will still be without elite playmakers. They could finish 3rd or fourth in division. Get used to it for next couple of years

sad but true

 

[PatsFan2]

Espn didn't have a script for Cole Strange. No wonder why McVay fell off his chair.

He's still a POS

Like Prescott something about him seems super phony

Could just be me

 

[TheRainMaker]

Curious what Scar would say about this pick.

He’d ask for a raise.

 

[Rob0729]

What does this have to do with anything I said?

 

[Ross12]

His Super Bowl record vs BB says it all.

Everyone knows McVay is the absolute best drafter in the first round. Never misses.

 

[MrTibbs]

McVay is just trying to forget how BB has totally owned him.

BB is a has been who hasn't won a playoff game since 2018 and each season is getting worse. Your obviously won of those fans that thinks it's the old days when the Pats will turn it on and win 12+ games and the division.......WAKE UP!! It's all over, there is NO MORE BB Magic....the magic left and went to Tampa....BB GOTTA GO.

 

[cupofjoe1962]

Let look on the bright side.

The N’Keal Harry pick does not look so bad anymore

 

[VJCPatriot]

Or it could’ve been that the scouts all really liked Strange, Bill felt the need at guard was really important and he said let’s just take him. He may not care that much if it’s a round and a half early, he got a guy that his scouts graded highly at a position of need.

Or BB could have gotten this guy in round 2 or 3 but he really loved the "interview."

Wasn't that the reason BB gave for taking N'Keal Harry over studs like AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, and Deebo Samuels?

 

[lancerman]

Until we look back on this draft two years from now and McDuffie is a solid corner and Jermaine Johnson is a stud.

Exactly, at least 2 or 3 of the guys we could have picked between 21 and 29 will end up being studs and even if Strange is good, we could have got one of them and picked him up in the third.

Realistically Strange has to be a mega steal who is a consistent All Pro and we need to hit on the picks we got from KC pretty hard got this to be a success

 

[Patsgofor4]

Ain't the media folks. Friggin Sean McVay fell off his chair laughing, saying he had Strange pegged for the 3rd or later.

Even though this pick left me speechless, after Bill made McVay his b*itch in the Super Bowl, skinny jeans Sean lost the right to laugh at him for all eternity.

 

[Sully]

Espn didn't have a script for Cole Strange. No wonder why McVay fell ofg his chair.

No big deal. We should all be used to that by now

 

[FCB02062]

this guy could be the greatest f ing GUARD in NFL history...does he sack the quarterback? intercept the football? catch touchdowns? why in the name of all things holy would bill the GM draft a freaking guard on a team almost completely bereft of playmakers?

 

[patsfan13]

Uhhhhh...Isiah Wynn.

Logan Mankins was a reach.
