Nobody - including me obviously - ever understands what BB is doing during the draft (or even moves besides the draft for that matter). And yet they always seem to produce quality players and quality teams and regularly end up in the AFCCG and for half of Brady's career they've made the Super Bowl. Yes it obviously matters that they have Brady. But you can't win football games by yourself. They always have among the very best TEAMS in the league.
I don't know how they do it, but they do. Year in and year out.
And Andy Reid smiles ....From NFL.com:
"We look for speed at linebacker so he's probably not going to fit us, but I think he's going to play somewhere. He's got a lot of tape where he is just jacking guys up with his strength. He's big, strong, and tough so he'll stick around." - AFC area scout
Actually, Purdue has a new coach, Jeff Brohm, who did a really good job last year.Some potential silver linings:
- He's a captain
- The Pats rely on D-line to occupy blockers; perhaps this can free JB up to more cleanly pursue inside ball carriers
- The Purdue coaching staff is... not good. He will receive (far) superior coaching
He was a Big 10 honorable mention!Actually, Purdue has a new coach, Jeff Brohm, who did a really good job last year.
The game is too easy for BB The Coach. He needs BB The GM to make it challenging for BB The Coach.BB the coach is a god. I’m not convinced BB the GM is anything special. Not saying he’s bad, but I’m not convinced he’s good.
He was a Big 10 honorable mention!
Next one gets a year's supply of Rice-A-RoniHe was a Big 10 honorable mention!
A better version of Spikes?Sounds like a Ted Johnson type.
Surely in the locker/hot tub roomA better version of Spikes?
Whose draft record would you choose over Belichick’s though? It’s easy to pick apart the drafts in hindsight but when you compare him to his peers is there anyone that actually gets more out of the draft then Bill? Even the guys that have great reps as drafters like Ozzie have their share of misses and busts. I don’t know if there is enough data to objectively say that Bill is or is not the best but I think there is enough evidence to say that he is in the upper echelon when compared to the rest of he leagues front officesHaving Brady, often (always?) at a less than market salary really clouds the discussion.

got another oneThe Rams are large and in charge in terms of Round 6.
Hey, what's the first rule of the super secret forum?You want funny? Then you should see the thread in the super secret forum devoted to picking apart your posts
From nfl.com's draft profile:Cool name. Can he play?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I have no clue, but the descriptions I've seen on twitter describe him as a true "MIke" linebacker who isn't good in space and isn't a great athlete.Christian Sam, OLB. I like it. From what little I've read, he seems like the opposite of the other guy - a pretty good athlete who can cover but might not have the best instincts and has some questions about his work ethic.
All these guys have warts and are basically lottery tickets. Buy as many as possible and hope one of them pans out.
Only if there were Trea Flowers as wellDamn, the Seahawks took Tre Flowers. I was hoping to see Tre Flowers and Trey Flowers combine for some sacks.
YesNot a Will or a Mike, but more of a Sam... amirite?
P.S. Didn’t BB bring on the ex-ASU head coach (Todd Graham)? Sounds like some helpful inside info as well.
And he’s not back to his 2015 self yet - 2017 was first year back from 2016 injury. Some really tantalizing upside here I think.Shuttle and 3 cone times from the combine are within what I expect from a safety, but at 244 lbs.
I like the Sam pick quite a bit. Great downfield quickness, foot speed on outside runs, good in zone against curls, solid ST. This is your quick guy that everyone wanted. Would like to see him be stronger at the point of attack though, in full disclosure.
Well to be fair, there's plenty in my posts to pick apart, super secret forum or not.You want funny? Then you should see the thread in the super secret forum devoted to picking apart your posts
I'm on board with this.Can they trade down to 199 to make the QB pick at least?
His shuttle and 3 cones are good, I'd consider him fairly quick.He's not quick
We'll add it to the listDon't know what Mookie was doing there.
He also needs to do something about that hair on his chin, I refuse to call that a beard.
Edit: This isn't the Sox gamethread. I'll leave it up as a testament to my cluelessness.
