Peter King's mock draft. He obviously has connections with teams and agents, so his mock is always interesting...

So, Ned Beatty's stunt double believes NE will use #14 to eventually be a guard?

You DO know there is an ENTIRE forum that is dedicated to this topic?

There are also post game threads every season good enough for everyone else, yet you require your very own dedicated to posting your blather.

Drafting a guard in the first round? What a Strange idea…

I read that Quentin Johnston wasn't invited to the draft because of concerns he wouldn't go in Round One. ?????

I looked through one of the databasea of mock drafts. I checked the first 5 pages. Everyone had Johnson in the first round, although several did have him at 31.

Bb must like kentucky qb’s…Zappe and now this kid

Although there's a bit of a difference between Kentucky and Western Kentucky...

Exciting? I would use a different description for us Patriots fans. Maybe, "shocking" "disappointing", "frustrating", or if they trade out of the first round, all this plus a big fat nothing-burger.

Anyway, anyone want to do a draft party or meet somewhere?

No offense meant to anyone, but boring is the first word that I think of when I think of the draft. I stopped watching when Fraudger started forcing the players to give him a big hug. If I thought that some player would have the balls to just stick out his hand for a handshake then I'd watch.

Some of us think that this has to do with football, NOT whether a player hugs someone or not.

From the Albert Breer article that just came out https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/04/27/2023-nfl-draft-latest-rumors-notes-first-round

And, to me, what best defines this draft class is what’s happening with the teams between 10 and 14—in order, the Eagles, Titans, Texans, Packers and Patriots. I’m told all five of those teams have been making calls to teams above them about trading up and down. And it’s no coincidence that, in a year when everyone seems to be looking to trade down, it’s the group in that alley of picks that are looking both ways at this intersection of the draft

Then, you consider New England, and if the tackles they like are gone, do they go best player (I’ve heard the Patriots connected to edge defenders Lukas Van Ness and Nolan Smith) at a position that’s not necessarily a need spot? Or trade down?

I really hope the Pats are able to trade up to the 8-12 range or move back to 17-22. Depending on how many QBs are taken the Pats could get the last of the top tier players or be just outside that group."

He's just the type of WR for the Bengals if that's the case move up and take him Great Value close to the Top of the Second.

If our LT & CB situations were in better hands, then I wouldn't mind QJ in the first round, but only after a trade-down into the 20s.

Thanks!

I hope that Henry McKenna isn't right because a lack of offers to trade back would be extremely frustrating.

Wow QB Anthony Richardson still on the Board @ 11?? Wow interesting.

If that is how the first 10 picks go then the Pats need to do everything they can to move up to 11 or 12 to select Tyree Wilson.

Absolute BS from McKenna every Team have the possibility to Trade of Draft night.

I think 14 is too early for Zay, although I would end up coming around a couple minutes after the pick.

Not a fan of Lukas Van Ness. He seems like a long term replacement for Wise a guy who plays end against the rush and kicks inside to tackle in pass sets. Van Ness has no moves other than a bull rush, most of his sacks were on stunts rather than pressure off the edge. Personally I would rather have Nolan Smith who I see as a similar player to Uche except much better in run defense and pass coverage.

I prefer OT or corner to any of the guys listed above though.

Taking Van Ness at 14 would make me ill.

Josh Downs is very similar to Zay Flowers you can have him in the late Second or Third.

Word is that Stroud's stock is dropping like a rock because of poor 'cognition' tests. Is this a thing now? What kind of testing is that, this doesn't sound like the normal QB Wonderlic test that we hear about every year.

Could the Patriots obtain pick #2 because the Texans are no longer in love with Stroud as a prospect?
