2025 Patriots Draft

[Yankee Traveler]

First of all...thank you.

Second, the caption says "If he's talking about guard I'm not thrilled.
I disagree with that. He said he would do anything asked of him. Anything. I like that. Why say I'm a Tackle and I will not play anything else? Edelman being the perfect example of I'll do whatever you want.

Except X Receiver. Arms are too short for that.

I have not given up on Wallace yet but......
This is how I remember him:

"Wallace was penalized for failing to report as an eligible receiver in overtime of New England's Week 2 loss, and he picked up right where he left off on Thursday. The rookie was flagged three times on Thursday, first for an illegal formation call in the first quarter. Wallace was also called for holding on back-to-back third down plays in the third quarter, one of which nullified an Austin Hooper catch that would have put the Patriots at the New York two-yard line and a shot at their only touchdown of the night."

I blame coaching there.
Was he told to report? Reminded?
And a SHITLOAD of holding never gets called when it's plain as day. The refs were just focused on him. But better coaching from Marrone should help him this year.

You omitted discipline

That comes from coaching also. In part, from fear of being called out in the line meeting on Monday. If the coaching is poor, no one gives a shit and they become less disciplined.

I agree that things will change. Who knows? Maybe Lowe will do a 180 knowing his neck is exposed to the blade.

I agree. I do find it funny that folks diss me for remembering facts!
I have said repeatedly to give him a chance. How much rope do you give him?
It depends entirely on the level of improvement / effort and the level of tolerance for coaching staff.......

Exactly

Clearly the stat said “College WR”. Not college QB. So, clearly he doesn’t count.

That seems like cherry picking since he wasn't college WR who was drafted to be a pro WR. Meyers switched late in his college career JE switched a little later.

When the Pats drafted JE, they drafted a damn good WR - even if it took a couple years to develope.

Call it cherry picking …. Call it whatever you want. The facts are he was a QB in college. When he was drafted the draft card didn’t say WR Julian, it said QB Julian.

What I posted is 100% accurate. Like it or not.

According to Chad Graff of the Athletic..........................

If he's there at #38, the Patriots plan to draft WR Jayden Higgins. High speed, over-sized, outside the numbers guy who will fight for the ball.

6'4" 225# 4.47

I didn't say you didn't. I merely was pointing out a wrinkle.
