Since my guy Xavier Leggett was taken at the end of round one, Patrick Paul LT is the next best thing. At a position of need. I think his nfl future is brighter than Tyler Guyton’s, taken 28 by the ‘Boys.This is another good option at 34.
7 WR already taken. Is this draft really that deep? Most years you don't see 7 impactful rookie WRs.
There is first round talent (a lot of it) still available at every defensive position. I'm thinking corner because it seems like an obvious need, but Brandon Fiske is out there too, if you wanted a DT, for example.
Mitchell went to the Eagles.Mitchell, DeJean Newton, and Powers/Johnson are all 1st rounders still available to them
Mitchell went to the Eagles.
Apologies. Forgot there were 2 Mitchells.That’s Quinyon Mitchell, CB out of Toledo. Adonai Mitchell is still available.
And I don’t recall a Pats center being selected before the 5th round in the past 30 or so years. Probably not the time to use a second rounder on one when our receiving corps may not be as good as Alabama’s…and they have a backup C in Jake Andrews, too.

Offensive linemen, probably because they are simply in terms of size way over at the thin end of the bell curve, are just more rare than WR's. Besides, plenty of OL have already been taken as well, I would think perhaps a higher percentage than similarly-valued O-linemen given their rarity. I also think that though quarterbacks may face disappointment and frustration with a sub-par WR room, they're not going to get beat half to death as they can with a weak OL room. I certainly agree we need both, but we need the OL first, and they are harder to find, so grab one while you can.7 WR already taken. Is this draft really that deep?

Agreed. But can't go wrong with Coleman or AD either IMO.Despite the obvious slot receiver stereotype I truly feel McConkey can win on the outside due to his athleticism and absolutely absurd route running ability. He’s the pick for me.
This is the way.Spectacular agility (3.97 20shut, 6.72 3cone) which shows in the route running (or so people say I haven't watched besides highlights and the Georgia Champ game where he had 2TDs). Solid speed. I worry a lot about injuries for him with his history, which has been a curse for the Pats and WRs in the top 4 rounds. Former QB (and RB, DB, Punter, and Returner). Seems like an extremely likable guy that would immediately hit it off with his teammates. Edit: Supposedly reached 21.4mph on a 70yd rushing TD in '22.
McConkey and Maye and call it a day.
A. ESPNs BPA lists are always terrible. B. They should pick Kingsley Suamataia.Unsurprisingly, the run on offensive players means that the best available players is dominated by defensive players. The highest-ranked OL remaining is 23rd on the list. There are three WRs (Mitchell, McConkey, Coleman) in the top 10, and the #1 overall is Cooper DeJean.
Feel free to debate specific players, but I'm curious: what position do you want to see drafted with their next pick?
Dave Wohlabaugh, fourth round, out of Syracuse, by Bill Parcells in ‘95 or so. Btw, Wohlabaugh Jr transferred this year to his dad’s Alma mater. Bigger. RT.And I don’t recall a Pats center being selected before the 5th round in the past 30 or so years. Probably not the time to use a second rounder on one when our receiving corps may not be as good as Alabamas…
Absolutely.but we need the OL first, and they are harder to find, so grab one while you can.
Mayo and wolf mentioned last night about weaponize the offense. Today needs to be about the LT& WR. To your point this defense reminds me of the early 2000s defense where guy's are disrespected. I think the maye pick was pretty obvious. We've solved IMO 90% of the problem the last few seasons by getting a QB. Now protect him and allow him to have weapons to help him.My vote is for OT or WR.
Those needs are so glaring, to me it is too soon to think BPA.
You can still get good CB/FS/DT/Edge depth a little later.
The Pats defense is not the problem; the offense was/is still awful, until proven otherwise.
Give the new QB some help.
