Patriots draft meetings

Dante visit I’ve just noticed. I think a potentially important one.

Later round CBs seem to be a thing too.

Ran a 4.32 at his pro day. Good size. I love the description of his aggressiveness in this profile:

They really have been looking at super quick corners in the later rounds.

Do you remember when Daniel Jeremiah talked about what BB looks for in CBs? I once quoted it on here. These two things from Smith’s scouting report were on that list.

• Believes every football is his
• • Outstanding ball production with 53 career passes defensed and 15 interceptions

They should be. The two outside corners seem to be Rowe and Gilmore until further notice. The nickel and dime corners would also seemingly compete for special teams reps and speed would also be important there.

McCourty?

McCourty?

What about him?

 

[manxman2601]

He’s at least in competition with Rowe isn’t he? You said “The two outside corners seem to be Rowe and Gilmore until further notice”. I’m just saying that McCourty is more than in that mix.

Oh, I thought you were talking about Devin. Nearly forgot Jason was almost on the team lmao. Yep and I also expect him to compete for the nickel role as well.

To be honest, I don’t see corner as much of a need. There already seems to be a logjam there.

I could see one of the top corners added to the mix if they think they have a full time starter on their hands. Jaire Alexander could be a great pairing with Gilmore. Otherwise, my guess is that they'll take a few shots at high upside UDFA or late rounders. Look at some of their player workouts: Keion Crossen, Travarious Moore, Tremon Smith. Extreme athletes from small schools available on the cheap.

Have they even looked at Mark Andrews? I mean, now that I've gone and "drafted" him and all.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Guice, Duke & Sweat all interviewed. All take all 3.

Guice would be lethal here. It's scary to think about what he would do when facing light boxes.

Sweat & Duke would instant pass rush this year, presumably if they are healthy.

Maybe because they got torched in the SB ?

Rowe ---- 4.45/40 .. 3.97 shuttle .. 6.70 3-cone
Gilmore - 4.40/40 .. 3.94 shuttle .. 6.61 3-cone

I don't think the problem in the SB was a lack of speed/quickness of the cornerbacks.

 

[bakes781]

Basic tackling was THE problem. Yeah I’m looking at you Bademosi!

Anyways I would like them to focus on the front 7 for the most part. I don’t see them drafting any skill positions in day one or two.
