There were some surprising names on the board on whom I’m surprised they passed. I love lineman and would’ve been thrilled to see Cody Ford here

Great move. It is one area that desperately needed to be addressed and now we can focus on the D and o-line tomorrow.

Like a few others I would have preferred AJ Brown over N'Keal Harry, but I don't have a huge problem with it since it's not like AJ Brown is heads and shoulders above every other WR in this class. Plus WR is arguably our biggest need so again, I think it's a fine pick. B+ pick for me.

I'm happy with the position drafted, as it was one of the 3 I thought needed to be the top priorities. I'm not judging the specific player at this time.

I'll let you know in 2021.

Seems talented, don’t know much about him. Team has a bad track record with receivers so have to be a little nervous, but he looks talented and it’s a position of need.

No question the man is physical and durable... he competes, possesses strong hands, incredibly productive, and still very young which should indicate plenty of upside potential
That being said, I’ve never watched a star WR highlight reel before and seen a WR so blanketed by DBs. And when he makes the great catch, he has no higher gear.
Physical possession WR that lacks speed and elusiveness. I see his Red Zone potential and understand NE’s desire to improve on their anemic goal line passing game which was very disappointing this year even with Gronkowski. Spending a late #1 for such a specific role is surprising but... the name of the game is scoring so ... In BB We Trust.
Being so young and with great pro coaching.....plus training alongside great route runners who have mastered agility....I can see why the team believes in this guy beyond what the tape shows.

The first player that came to mind after NE selected Harry... Anquan Boldin 6’1” 220 lbs 4.71 40

Honestly knowing nothing about college players I just wanted a big physical WR. He seems to match those vague criteria

Still processing but leaning towards...

 

[Sicilian]

I voted B, because while he seems like the type of player who should succeed here, the unpredictability of receivers in our offense means I won't feel comfortable until someone starts to overhype him in OTAs

Since i wanted a d-line it doesn't wow me, and I can only remember dion branch every panning out as a high rnd pick.

I give it an A. We needed a big strong TE or receiver to pick up the slack from Gronk's retirement and (other than Jules) the rest of the WR corps less-than-stellar 2018 campaign. Brady needs a big target and we got one. Let's GOOOOOOOO!!
