BB will hate the way he openly spoke.
He was a publicly known visit. I'm not seeing the problem here.

He called him Billy
I've been targeting 21 for a while now. It seems to make the most sense. We don't need 12 players, but they need a lot of depth.
Considering "Billy"'s track record when drafting WRs, he should start picking guys who do the exact opposite of what he looks for.BB will hate the way he openly spoke.
Not only that, other teams interested in him may move ahead of NE to get him. It puts Bill in a bad spot if he in fact wants him.
Sternberger or trade for Adam Shaheen who has been hurt but came on late last season.Fant. IMO Smith too GASP

And pushes someone else further down

People already knew about the visit though. I already had it in the contacts list in the draft forum. Now it's possible that people knew about it because of his instagram post, that's how we know about Mecole Hardman's visit. He should have stuck to Instaface.
Yes, but a lot of visits are smokescreens. If the player basically comes out and says the team was enthusiastic about him (or that “if you’re at 32, we’ll take you,” which is what Deebo basically said), it removes any mystery.

Well played!Considering "Billy"'s track record when drafting WRs, he should start picking guys who do the exact opposite of what he looks for.
Be thrilled of the draft remotely came out like thisNice work!

Personally, I see no reason to keep on talking about 12 picks.
The last 5 are simply early UDFA picks. As always, belichick will find 1-3 among them and UDFA's.

Good call. Seattle has been looking to gain picks. General manager John Schneider has only 4 picks and has vowed to Trade down "if he can find a partner" for more Draft inventory. I think they approach the Pats. The have "0" 6th or 7th rounders.I've been targeting 21 for a while now. It seems to make the most sense. We don't need 12 players, but they need a lot of depth.

We need to come up with a fifth rounder for a "no brainer" WR addition who will be in MY prediction, opening day starter.
This leads up to my preliminary annual DW Toys trade-A Rama:
Seattle trades:
1stRound #21=800 pts
5th Round #159=27.4 pts
Patriots trades:
1st Round #32=590 pts
3rd Round #73=225 pts
7th Round #246=1 pt
You might consider TE Fant at #21 or the surprise pick and actual Round one WR A.J. Brown.I think ASJ does not eliminate the need but allows up more flexibility.
O.K. Follow the bouncing BB trader here.
Arizona trades:
2nd Round #33=580 pts
3rd Round #65=265 pts
QB Josh Rosen
Patriots trades:
1st Round #21=800 pts
2nd Round # 64=270 pts
AZ wants to recoup their Rosen pick to make Murray deal look better to the fan base. They want a #1 pick. Best offered supposedly is 2nd-3rd.
The Pats now own Rosen for cheaper than Hoyer with the potential to be as good as the top three QB's in this class, own him for three more years cheap, groom him and own him for 225 trade chart points which equates to exactly where this years third round pick #73 was in value. So QB Josh Rosen for a third rounder. Waht QB can we get in the 3rd round this year?
So the new score board is:
The first pick of the 2nd round #33 (one back of #32)Oh yeah and QB Josh Rosen
2nd Round>
#33 Traded to Redskins for pick #46 in 2nd and pick #76 in 3rd. Skins need a QB and they have 9 picks
#46 Jeffrey Simmons DT Miss. St.(IR candidate of top ten player)
#56 Jonathan Abram S Miss. St. (last year for DMC. RodneyII?))
3rd Round>
#65 Andy Isabella WR U Mass.(WR speed+speed, Special Teams maven)
#76 Jace Sternberger TE Tex. A&M (Can Scar teach him to block some?)
#97 Jaylon Ferguson EDGE Lousiana Tech (45 career sacks)
#101 Michael Deiter OT Wisconsin (swing tackle needed. Three year starter. Cannon is 31 in a few weeks)
4th Round>
#134 Traded to the Bucs for Gerald MCoy DT Why trade if he could become a FA? WHERE DO WE WIND UP ON HIS DANCE CARD AS A FA? We have control over him for three more years with the following two diminishing salary years for actually reasonable dollars (the same $ as Fletcher Cox, less than Suh, less than Flowers)
He's only 31, 2 years younger than Bennett and is a 6 time Pro-Bowler who wants a ring. This is his quote 4-3, 3-4, 5-2, Nose guard, 3-tech, DE, doesn’t matter. Either you can play football or you can’t. PERIOD!!) 6 sacks with inside pressure in 2018. The Bucs are CAP strapped. A fourth rounder might do it.
Bennett, Pennel, Guy and McCoy as our front four is pretty sporty. Might be the best in a decade.
Work in Wise and Rivers and draft another edge rusher.
5th Round>
#159 Traded to Browns for RFA WR Rishard Higgins from Cleveland as a 5th Round , $2.025 mm RFA Tender. He would be our best WR after Edleman and start. He's only 24 years old and with OBJ and Landry and last year Draft sensation Callaway, I think the Browns do not fight this.
6th Round>
#205 Dru Tranquil OLB Notre Dame (typical Patriot genes. ST guy)
7th Round>
#239 Sione Takitaki OLB BYU (Wild man. ST if anything)
#252 Jalen Hurd WR Baylor (can line up at RB as well ala Patterson. Can do more than one thing)
Thoughts?

Fair opinion.Zero interest in Josh Rosen
