Can't imagine a 6th rounder that doesn't fit the system would have an impact on Thuney.

Interesting pick. He makes more sense as a more tackle convert than he does as a guard in our system.

How do you know Onwenu doesn't fit the system??

 

[iapatsfan]

Tell me more? What hasn’t made sense?

Biggest positional issue on offense was TE. We addressed it

Defensively, we lost both KVN and Collins. We addressed this.

Chung is getting old. We addressed this.

We replaced Ghost.

Not gonna fix everything in one draft. We still need help at wr and to this point need a 3rd Qb. But all in all the pats have done a good job addressing some glaring needs.

Outside of a couple OL, the Patriots have no young offensive talent. That is a problem.

 

[DaBruinz]

Browns - Donovan Peoples-Jones - WR - Michigan

Having a mountainous guard is probably good when you’re looking to go run-heavy. Pairs well with Shaq? Wonder if it means anything for Thuney.

He likes the big OL pick. We have his seal of approval, he always says , In Bill I trust. Can't argue too much with him there. lol

I meant if you brought them home

 

[fightingirish595]

Chargers - Alohi Gilman - S - Notre Dame

Kid was all over the field in 2018. Regressed this year

To a team for 2 play making receivers I pray.

What do you call Asiasi and Keene? You can say we didn’t address WR but you can’t say we didn’t attempt to add any offensive talent.

I think that the Pats will probably look at WR in UDFA and as time goes on between now and TC. Same with QB.

There are going to be several veteran WRs released based on some of the moves we've seen to this point.. It will be interesting to see where they land.

 

[Ross12]

Tyler Bass drafted. Interesting. Blankenship still there.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Speaking of Michigan . . . has anyone drafted DPJ yet? He disappointed in college, but his testing and size is solid. He's got some skill, if someone can help him unlock urgency in his routes.

EDIT: Lol, my timing. There he goes.

Way to go.

 

[RobertWeathers]

What do you call Asiasi and Keene? You can say we didn’t address WR but you can’t say we didn’t attempt to add any offensive talent.

He hasn't been watching the draft.

 

[iapatsfan]

How do you know Onwenu doesn't fit the system??

Because he isn't a brutally slow WR. That is the Patriots system...slow WRs and a weird obsession with special teams players.

 

[Nunchucks]

I love this pick, big strong guard to help get the running game going.

 

[DaBruinz]

BUF - Tyler Bass - K - Georgia Southern

 

[Rdforty2]

How do you know Onwenu doesn't fit the system??

Because he is slow and doesn't move very well? He's a power guy that can dominate at the point but he doesn't have great athleticism and isn't going to hit a guy on the move.

I think this is misleading. We just drafted two tight ends, we drafted Harry last year and I think he will be good, Jacoby, Sony, Byrd, James White, Damien Harris in addition to a healthy Sanu and Edleman...that's not bad.

Outside of a couple OL, the Patriots have no young offensive talent. That is a problem.

For those keeping score at home:
