DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION OFFICIAL 2023 Patriots Draft Day Discussion: Round 2/3

[TheBeers]

I like it, still plenty of ammo to move up

 

[Username]

when i did a lot of my mocking and "research" i didnt really invest much time into the Edge or Safety players

Explain like im 5 years old why this is a good pick

I don't like it this high.

Traits are there, but lacks instincts and consistency. Potential to be very good, but is a developmental player.

 

[DaBruinz]

very talented but............something missing

He's an older prospect as well. Kinda in the Dietrich Wise mold more than the Willie McGinest one.

 

[Pape]

this was basically posted before the Pats were on the clock...

whats the point of even watching the draft?

 

[JarOfMayo51]

killing quarterbacks is always a plus

now lets help out that 30th ranked offense

 

[PatsFan2]

Just take Washington please.

The Athletic's Beast on White:
SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Georgia Tech, White played defensive end (field side) in defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker’s 4-2-5 scheme, lining up inside and outside the tackle (stand up and hand on the ground). A former tight end at Old Dominion, he reinvented himself on the defensive line and posted excellent backfield production (33.0 tackles for loss in 24 games in his two healthy seasons on defense). White is a rangy mover for his size, capable of spot dropping with running backs or collapsing blocks off the edge with his physical hands. However, he needs to better understand his biomechanics and improve his pass-rush plan, as he prefers to surge into blocks instead of setting them up and countering. Overall, White is still developing his craft and pass-rush technique/instincts, but he is a high-motor height/weight/speed edge player with power as a bull rusher and the mass to anchor versus the run. Similar to Datone Jones, he is a scheme-proof prospect and projects as a rotational base end as an NFL rookie. GRADE: 2nd Round (No. 47 overall)

You don’t have to watch it. You might enjoy the evening more if you don’t.

Matt Judon Lite with potential

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Good pick.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

BOB has to be begging Bill for some O help right now

 

[Brotherblues]

Developmental edge was just as much of a need with Uche in a contract year, and Judon up the year after. Like.

high motor…heard that before. The offense needed upgrades.

 

[patfanken]

He was my CB in the 2nd if the Pats had gone with a DE or OT in the first.

Developmental player at age 24. Physical traits are great.

Looks like a guy to faulk with Josh Allen

 

[DaBruinz]

Gotta wonder if the Pats will swing a multi-pick trade to move up from #6 in the 3rd round..

would rather watch the draft...

think i will just log off the forums til the draft is over

You know they still have a ton of picks left?
