Patriots Add Offensive Tackle Joe Thuney With 78th Overall Pick

[Rusty Griswold]

Zone blocking is easy.

I agree. I don't get his point. It's about athleticism and this guy has it. With his strong football IQ, he essentially pushes multiple players at multiple positions, which is good.

Make the Swing Tackle position better and push someone like Kline as the Swing Guard.

Probably the youngest, deepest position on the team with Jackson, Mason, Cooper. Odd.

BB upping the competition at backup Guard and Tackle, with a Scar sign off on it. Nothing wrong with that.

I agree Mason and Jackson look good with Stork and Andrews as well. Throw em all in there and see who earns the spots.

LeRaven Clark (Swing Tackle in 2016, Starting RT in 2017, Starting LT in 2018)

Joe Dahl (College LT to Starting LG, just like Mankins)

Christian Westerman (College LG, Starting NFL LG for the next decade)

Connor McGovern (4-position versatility & toughness)

All of the above were better prospects than Thuney, a 5th-round G/C-ONLY talent with short arms and who, incredibly (or not), has been Bill's best value pick anyway.

he is one of the best at position when defensing qb under 2.5 seconds. Our oline was the best last year too. so all pats need is that dion lewis and edelman dont get injured. AT that under 2 seconds release broomstick could be playing in oline, but after injuries we all saw wat will happen.

Why?????

This guy is not a master of the zone blocking scheme. The pats have to start from scratch teaching him.

Not sure he has the feet to work in the zone blocking scheme.

Apparently Bill and Scar disagree with you.
