Yeah…They wanted to stockpile picks so they could overdraft 5th rounders.
people seem to like Maye dayWill there ever be a year that someone likes one of the Pats's draft picks?
Great call thereOT was thin already and still a ton of WR talent left on the board. This was a need pick, and you don't do those in the 3rd round.
At the end of the day, that doesn't really matter. I liked Kiran a lot better, but it's not like these tier3 tackles are easy to tell apart. As CD noted, the rating systems are all over the place. I've seen Rosengarten rated in mid tier 2 and the bottom of tier 3, for example.I need to qualify that Riddick likes basically every pick made.
People may not outright shit on the pick but look at the rankings and everyone thinks this is a reach
Well, it's hard to eff up the third pick of the draft at the time of the draft.people seem to like Maye day
Not until they stop making stupid picksWill there ever be a year that someone likes one of the Pats's draft picks?
It’s possible they think he can play LT. Evaluations of the OL guys in this range will be all over the place in terms of where they can play, in what system, etc.Can't believe we still don't have a decent LT. So who protects Brady...I mean Brissett and Maye now? Okorafor?
I kind of doubt it, Wallace is probably more of a pass protector than Onwenu. I would guess Wallace starts as the swing tackle with Okorafor as the LT unless Wallace crushes it in camp.Field thinks he might be able to play LT. Any chance they plan on Onwenu moving to LT and letting Wallace stay at RT?
Yup, check my next post. After the 1st round, SVP asked him for his least favorite pick and he literally couldn’t answer.He's pretty positive on everyone
He was higher rated at nfl.com than some of the OTs already taken.Not until they stop making stupid picks
Maybe he was playing RT because Jets guy that got picked eleven was LT and he wasn’t as good as him. At this point, people don’t really know, we are just degeneratesIt’s possible they think he can play LT. Evaluations of the OL guys in this range will be all over the place in terms of where they can play, in what system, etc.
Will they ever have a year where they don't make a massive reach? Why can't we try the Eagles or KC approach just once. They have pretty good success.Will there ever be a year that someone likes one of the Pats's draft picks?
Right but it’s all about quality control.At the end of the day, that doesn't really matter. I liked Kiran a lot better, but it's not like these tier3 tackles are easy to tell apart.

There are obvious holes. What seems different about this Pats draft is that they're addressing the obvious holes with guys that are from deep pools in those areas. It's kind of best case scenario honestly.Will there ever be a year that someone likes one of the Pats's draft picks?
Nope, the experts here who had never heard of him until after the pick was made have him as a reach.our own @SMU_Sox had him rated 1 spot behind Kingsley if it makes you guys feel better
Jesus really? Almost everyone loved the Maye pick. Come on. I know we all love to play the victim but let’s be at least somewhat honestWill there ever be a year that someone likes one of the Pats's draft picks?
Would love to see Hunt still available, and maybe one of the Wilsons at WR.Wallace is a good player. Where he got drafted won’t matter in a few years. Very very interested to see what they do at 103 and 110.
Of course people liked the #3 pick of the draft.Jesus really? Almost everyone loved the Maye pick. Come on. I know we all love to play the victim but let’s be at least somewhat honest
What is the massive reach? Wallace isn't, he was a 3rd/4th round guy most places, and once you get past like 50 the error bars on this stuff are pretty huge... and the league thinks differently.Will they ever have a year where they don't make a massive reach? Why can't we try the Eagles or KC approach just once. They have pretty good success.
The weak return on the trade back also probably made them hesitant to trade up later.Eh, it feels like the Pats' war room is showing its inexperience. A run on WRs at R1/R2, and we reach (a bit) for Polk. Same deal in R2/R3 with OTs, and we end up with Wallace. How about some boldness?
With Belichick you took the bitter with the sweet. He was a mad genius who made bold calls that sometimes were great and sometimes crashed and burned, but I loved it because that was the same confidence that made him not call time out with time running down in the Super Bowl.Will they ever have a year where they don't make a massive reach?

Yeah but what about the guy who has been shitting on the Pats in every thread for 3 years, what’s he think?!!He was higher rated at nfl.com than some of the OTs already taken.
Dammit ... I wanted a flashy tackle
Right, like, the OL we just re-signed to a big deal was a late rounder. Nobody knows anything.I'll never get sick of people getting upset about the Pats picking a player a round earlier than the mock drafts have him going, and then also getting upset when a player they like comes off the board right before the Pats pick. They've addressed their three biggest positions of need with players who they obviously rated highly and think they can fit well into the team on and off the field. I can't ask for much more than that.
Don't spoil their fun.our own @SMU_Sox had him rated 1 spot behind Kingsley if it makes you guys feel better
They have a looooot of needs so odds were good they’d be drafting for them. I think the bigger point is that they took guys at super-premium positions. It’s encouraging, this wasn’t the time to take a TE or DT or S.When was the last time the Pats drafted exactly for need with 3 straight picks to start a draft?
@luckiestman is our new GM? I’ll take it.Wolf live, ....

Just said they had Polk top of their board at 34, from their intel thought he'd be there at 37 moved down.
Asked about Wallace playing on the left.... said he thought he is a LT and that Fashanu blocked him out at PSU.
He was asked that, no, he just jumped on and took like 4 or 5 questions then jumped off, said they are still monitoring how things fall and could jump in if they think it makes sense.Why is he doing a press conference while the draft is happening? Are they just closing down shop for the night?
