Dude... it's always gonna be too soon for that

I look forward to Bill talking about this draft swing and a miss. Seems to have a lot to say these days about the Pats so let’s hear about this one too

If you want fast players, you better draft fast players. LOL!

 

[Pape]

why can't we have nice, speedy things

Turns out speed isn't everything. Just being able to run fast doesn't an NFL receiver make.

At least we won't have to deal with any more training camp reports about how good Tyquan looks and how "this is his year, for real this time"

Very disappointing flameout. He goes to show that you have to consider the level of competition these guys face at the college level. BoneyT looked great in the Big12. But the Big12 in his day was notorious for pass defense being an afterthought. He just couldn't make the jump against DBs who actually worked at their craft. Still, I like the kid; I hope he catches on somewhere that does us no harm.

That wasn't the 08 superbowl homie..

Or weekly reports on how good he looked in practice. I'm shocked that he made it to the NFL with his slight frame and no hands.

I don't think it's better DB's. Thornton can't catch a cold.

Well, is there anyone amongst us that didn’t see this day coming? Let’s just hope we’re not replacing one 2nd round “One Catch Wonder” with another one (Polk - 10 games/11 receptions). I think the story in this morning’s Globe sums up his Patriot career rather well: “Thornton’s best moments as a Patriot came during training camp, when he flashed highlight-reel plays.”

Once @PatsFan2 got down on Tyquan I knew he was a bust . Can't wait to hear what Bill has to say about him.

On draft day we were shocked they took Boney T instead of George Pickens

2024 stats

Boney T 4 rec. 47 yards 0 td
George P 40 rec. 639 yards 2 tds

Not a shock. Too skinny and was known as a poor route runner in college. Drafting just based on 40 time in underwear is stupid

With Tyquan being released if we still don't see baker getting meaningful snaps then I'm going to be concerned for him.

If you can't crack the worst WR room in the league, you don't belong in the league. (That goes for Osborne too)

Any reference to Hobbs vs Buress is just f'n wrong

2004 stats

Boney T 4 rec. 47 yards 0 td
George P 40 rec. 639 yards 2 tds

In the interest of fairness, Boney was 4 years old in 2004. Although I have to admit those stats for a 3 year old Pickens are truly impressive

 

[TheRainMaker]

The day he was drafted it was criticized for passing on Pickens.

Here we are.
