DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official Patriots Draft Day 3 Thread - Rounds 4-7

here we go, bolstering the Oline

 

[sambam94]

Sow.. "While he could continue to improve and has some physical traits to work with, making a roster will be an uphill climb."

 

[JackBauer]

4th rouner for a guy that does kick offs...yep thats awesome

Wasn’t Gostkowski a 4th round pick?

 

[upstater1]

We have a kicker, he would have been on the board later, and oh yeah, the last time we took a kicker this early he never made a kick for us.

???

The last time we took a kicker this early was Gostkowski

 

[DaBruinz]

At least get the best punter if you are drafting a punter in 4th round .

My guess is bill will draft a QB and then draft a wr in 6th round and ignore the TE in a historically strong TE class.

Offensive scouts on pats team should be fired ..

Sorry just not liking today and ranting out...

They drafted a KICKER, not a PUNTER.

 

[gtfanboy]

I guess fortifying the interior OL is the plan for this round

source? felger?

Monica had a few extra pancakes for breakfast, it appears.

Kinda gives the game away when *all* you do is focus on the negative.

You forgot, Zappe Hour is the resident drama queen.

The resident drama queen is Mac10. There’s no comparison.

 

[slash83]

Onwenu replacement next year.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

We have a kicker, he would have been on the board later, and oh yeah, the last time we took a kicker this early he never made a kick for us.

No, the last time they took a K this early he became the team's all-time leading scorer.

 

[DaBruinz]

So...he is a backup kicker?

Or he's replacing Folk since Ryland can do kick-offs..

 

[Pats1971]

We have a kicker, sure, but does anyone actually think he doesn’t need to be replaced/upgraded?

He was 4th in kicking last year

To be fair Moody was good his last 2 seasons.

I’d take either, Ryland comes across as mentally tougher. He was perfect in the Senior Bowl and only missed outside 50 yards.

 

[zimmy]

Sow seems a solid enough pick here. Brugler had him in the 4th round. They obviously don't like their interior depth behind Strange, Andrews and Onwenu -and maybe preparing for Onwenu's departure next offseason.

 

[Chevy]

If we could pick up kickers as UDFA's we would have one who is not in his mid-40s.

Vinatieri and Gostkowski were obviously drafted

Vinatieri was an UDFA. Spent 1995 with the Amsterdam Admirals, then to NE.

 

[Pats1971]

No, the last time they took a K this early he became the team's all-time leading scorer.

Last time we took a kicker was in the 5th round and he never played, our current kicker was 10-14 in kicks 40-50 and 5 for 6 in over 50 last year...

 

[Ross12]

Probably won’t happen, but what’s the likelihood that they move Onwenu back to right tackle and put one of these rookies at right guard?
