You forgot Polk and Baker with their Y2 jump.

Yup the Y2 jump where they jump off the team

 

[PatsFan2]

My Binky Tai Felton Vikings can Scout Receivers great pick.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I understand that. Im just saying this must mean they've already made the determination.

But on who?

Jake Andrews for sure. But one or two of Sow, Robinson and Strange are on the outs. Maybe even Caeden Wallace.

I doubt Wallace, I suspect they view him as a developmental tackle who had poor coaching, a position change, was thrown into the fire, and then injured. And ultimately Wilson is really a center so ultimately I don’t think it impacts the guards at all. I think it’s possible they don’t dislike any of them but don’t love them either and want them to fight for a spot in camp. And possible they go with 9 guys and all stay - Campbell, Strange, Wilson, Onwenu, Malone as starters with Lowe, Wallace, Sow and Robinson as backups, with Bradbury, Brown and the FA backup they signed all bring cut. We’ll just have to see how they all look in camp.

I prefer not to know what people think of me.

Jared Wilson is an athletic freak. 9.98 RAS. He could develop into a STUD center in the future.
In the 38 years where RAS for centers has been trackable, he beats 621/622 of them!

Defensive players were willing to come here in FA. This is what we have to do in order to build around Maye.

the best defense is to have the offense on the field

 

[DaBruinz]

EDGE - Bradyn Swinson, Kyle Kennard, Jack Sawyer, Barry Sorrell

DT - Ty Robinson, Joshua Farmer and many more (CJ West, Jordan Phillips, JJ Pegues). There's also Deone Walker but I'm not a fan of him.

DB - Billy Bowman, Craig Woodson, Cobee Bryant

WR - Tory Horton, Eric Ayomanor, Deont'e Thornton, Jalen Royals, Jaylin Lane

OT - Logan Brown, Hollin Pierce

Some really nice options.

No love for Upton Stout?

I'm really hoping that Vrabel shows Pegues some love. I think the kid would be great for the Offense for the Goal Line as well as a sub on defense and on special teams...

LOL, you're a legend. Nothing more needs to be said.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

i think a “sophomore jinx” would be more likely in their case!

It was a joke

Look at the range - ability to work at the line in pass pro, ability to take care of business on the los in run game before reaching the 2nd level and redirecting someone. Reach blocks, combos he's really good at executing a bunch of different blocks. Plus footwork to mirror. Very quick very good hands and feet. Plus balance. Our Oline got a lot more athletic, physical and versatile. He can play guard in a pinch imo. I really like this pick

I love this pick. He should start for us soon. Had a 2nd on me overall for my grades and a 3rd on him on the ptp board. 5th IOL for my grades overall. I thought he could have snuck into the top 30-40 bc hes the top rated C on a lot of boards I suspect. Love his makeup. Tough, very athletic, big dude - wide, plays with very good torque. Big powerful hands with very good placement. One he touches you it's a problem. He has the best recovery of any C in the draft. The ability to stay to shifty guys. Makes to to his spots in the 2nd level easily. I love this pick. Again he's going to start for us imo.

Daniel Jeremiah just singled out the Pats as nailing this draft.

So was the reply….

 

[dliverey44]

Love the Wilson pick. Loving this draft

Gotta be honest he kind of reminds me of Bradbury in play style. very athletic and can reach all 3 levels of the defense. This makes me wonder if we are going to run more Zone than Gap

 

[Joey007]

I’m happy about this haul. Excited for the future boys.

We’ll see what tomorrow holds. I like going DL with that 4th rounder.

 

[BobDigital]

So what's left on offense? Maybe a guard... maybe not. Everything else can be UDFA or low picks in the 6th 7th

 

[manxman2601]

Any decent TE’s

Plenty of TE3s. although Gunnar Helm is still available which surprises me a bit. I really like Jackson Hawes although he's a blocking TE, albeit an awesome one.

Another OT prospect wouldn’t hurt for the right side of the line. (Or a backup option in case Campbell did kick inside)

Maybe Jalen Travis, the guy from UConn Lundt, Cam Williams?
