2023 NE Patriots Draft

[Yankee Traveler]

Too soon?

I looked couldn't find a thread yet, so fuck it.

He's a lock as a Patriot. His last name is Jones, and we kinda short on Jones's on offense.

Looks good to me

Get an OT and prevent him from going to Miami? win-win!

 

[YankeeRebel]

I generally like McShay more than Kiper. I mentioned in another thread we need to get a FA OT and draft an OT I liked Parris Johnson OSU but I will assume McShay has done more homework than McMe

Skoronski is in the middle of the single most dominant pass-blocking season we’ve seen in our nine years of college grading. On 383 pass-blocking snaps, he has allowed only five pressures. That’s it.

His 93.1 pass-blocking grade is far and away tops in the country

Whatever Kiper does to his hair, they should make NFL players do too as a prophylactic concussion measure...

Yep and sure up the right side thru FA.

No way he will be there when we select

Can anyone tell me why BB won't bring this guy in for a tryout. Listed as one of the top eight free agents available right now.

• OT Eric Fisher.

Orlando Brown Jr.***
Kansas City Chiefs

He wouldn't sign with KC last year and they franchised him at roughly what, $18M?

Can they franchise him again? He's only 26. If they don't make the SB or lose, would he want to play under the franchise tag for a second year??

The bigger is question is, Would BB be willing to hand him $22M per for five years?

For five years I sure hope so. I mentioned in another thread signing him specifically if possible. The drafting a RT and C or RG

He would cost us.....

He would cost us.....

Not for four or five years. Salary restrictions for draftees.

He would cost us in the sense we would have to move up the draft to get him. Unless his combine numbers drop him

As far as O-linemen are concerned, my guess is that Scar is always consulted about drafting one. He's still listed as a 'Football Consultant".

BB Surprised everyone drafting Strange. The pundits immediately screamed like wounded queers when he was drafted and shit all over BB for drafting a that played in a lesser conference with Tennessee-Chatanooga. Here he is, a starting guard and a pretty good one. I think Scatr may have had a lot to do with finding him. And yes, he might have been around in the third or fourth round, but someone else may have seen him and taken him earlier. The draft is the draft and one never knows if their guy will actually play or fail.

IF Skoronski is worth the move, BB will do it if he can and it doesn't cost him a testicle.

Exactly IF it does not cost him but as it stands now based on his projected draft position and our projected draft position he would be gone or we would have to give up draft stock to secure him. So the question becomes is there another OT of quality that will allow us to retain draft capital and still address. Is he really that much better than the next one or two OTs?

Cost us to move up in the draft. Many teams need OT's....

That could be the biggest problem. OTs are about the most sought after commodity in the NFL. I think that four to six of the first round picks will be OTs. Just don't know how many or who will be available.

Wasn't there a Div. III OT that caused a huge uproar at the Combine in 2020?? What happened to him? I know he was drafted.

Here's one list of the top 10 plus honirable mention

Top 10 OTs in the 2023 NFL Draft: Anton Harrison, Darnell Wright Enter the Top 5

Who stands atop a polarizing 2023 NFL Draft offensive tackle class after the 2022 season? Is it Paris Johnson Jr., Peter Skoronski, or someone else entirely?

I agree with Johnson at 1 in the end all this is subjective and prone to change after the combine.

I still feel we need to get the best FA OT, draft and OT and OG or C
