Mason’s play slipped significantly last year.This is my problem with this. You have a guy that is a known figure. Is he getting paid a lot? No, not really (yea I get that he was like 7th for guards or something so he wasn't a net positive in value, but anyway)
Then you trade that guy for a fifth, just to take reach for a guy in the first round at the same position, when the team has various other needs.
This guy better be Logan Mankins from day one or it's worse than all those round 2 DB reaches.
Reid? Veach?View: https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1519879251662540801
Who is “that guy” bill or strange?
I’m generally agnostic about draft picks because I know nothing. But this is the kind of stuff that confuses me. I don’t see the logic.I don't know what calculus went into trading Mason for nothing and then replacing him with a first round pick.
He was not good.Mason’s play slipped significantly last year.
Nine?Can you really ever have too many good, versatile o linemen?
Well even the owner had called out the last several drafts prior to last year so...This board goes through this ritual almost every year. Just copy and paste.
And doesn’t tape his handsWears 69 and has a facemask with a bar down the middle, I love the pick
Well, it’s like they say, nothing makes your weapons better or keeps your defense off the field like a good guard.They have a terrible defense and no weapons and just took a fucking lineman they could have probably got later (or someone comparable)
I really want to know where he was on Belichick's board. Top 20? Top 10?On Strange:
@SMU_Sox had him at #53 on his board
Daniel Jeremiah: #74
ESPN Big Board: #77
Arif Hasan Consensus: #76
Because pundits think if Bill drafted him, then maybe they need to reevaluate.And on cue come the “actually he’s really good” takes - it’s like clockwork

Agreed. OL are fungible. You can get them in the mid rounds. They need impact on defense. This is a boring pick like usual.I don’t give a shit if he’s John Hannah. The defense blows.
They haven’t won a Super Bowl in over 3 yearsIf you can't find humor in this after 20 years and lots of success, I don't know what to say.
No, it’s not-good grief.This is kind of humiliating…

I guess I hate Sean McVay now.
Aside from that, he's a guard. Honestly, guards are just not that important when compared to some other needs they have.I don’t give a shit if he’s John Hannah. The defense blows.
Now?This is kind of humiliating…

29 is almost 2nd round.Mel says he graded him as a 2nd rounder.
to be fair, bb’s drafting over the last several years has been pretty shitty overallThis board goes through this ritual almost every year. Just copy and paste.
Thats the thing, trade down 15 and you still get this pick. It doesn’t make sense.Strange was a bad pick, revisionist history aside. I would have preferred they trade out altogether
I suspect if that were the case, he would’ve done It.Thats the thing, trade down 15 and you still get this pick. It doesn’t make sense.
It's also a lie. You can take their best drafts in the past decade and this board was immediately excited about them. SoSH loved last year's draft, as well as 2012. It isn't always a shower of negativity.to be fair, bb’s drafting over the last several years has been pretty shitty overall
he’s old now and no longer has the best player in football on the roster for relatively low money
Maybe they valued the 5th year option more than the extra 6th round pick they would pick up.Thats the thing, trade down 15 and you still get this pick. It doesn’t make sense.
The horror! Listen to yourself -I know we’ve been super spoiled but wining the super bowl is fucking hard and we did it 6 flippin’ times since 2001. We need to get better every year and last year we were better than the year before, that’s good with me. All I want is a chance every year and BB gives that to me, I could not be happier to be a Pats fan.They haven’t won a Super Bowl in over 3 years
5 picks tomorrowWhen your defense literally cannot stop Buffalo you do not waste a pick on position of need, a need that you created.
Ummmm….The horror! Listen to yourself -I know we’ve been super spoiled but wining the super bowl is fucking hard and we did it 6 flippin’ times since 2001. We need to get better every year and last year we were better than the year before, that’s good with me. All I want is a chance every year and BB gives that to me, I could not be happier to be a Pats fan.
Or maybe that trade was not available.Thats the thing, trade down 15 and you still get this pick. It doesn’t make sense.
