2025 Patriots Draft

[YankeeRebel]

On to day 2. What does NE do?

1st round went pretty much as expected. I think day 2 will bring a lot more trades.

I would have liked Booker or Zabel surprised they went that early.

I would like Elijah Arroyo TE Miami, he's fast with good hands no LB in the league can cover him

I thought SEA would take Zabel. A lot of mocks had him going to them.

Booker was kind of a surprise.

Funny I was looking at Arroyo today as well. If not I'd like Fannin at TE maybe in the 3rd round.

Still hope we get a RB and FB and a WR. Henderson or Burden should be there with our next pick.

I think there are RBs and WRs to be had in 3rd. Personally RD 2 I would Arroyo then in the 3rd Tate Rutledge or Mbow if there and then a RB

@Yankee Traveler Why do I have a feeling Vrabel is going to go D with the next pick? Lots of talent still available on the defensive side is why. So maybe he goes for offense in the 3rd?

The best argument I saw for Will Campbell was very simple.


2585 snaps at LT. 5 Sacks allowed.

During Campbell's workout with the Patriots, Vrabel put on a heavy chest blocking pad. Campbell came out of his stance and hit Vrabel square in the chest, lifted him off his feet and put him on his ass. Greg Bedard witnessed it and said that Vrabel jumped up immediately and embraced Campbell.

Mike Vrabel's comment after the pick: "Will Campbell is our left tackle. It was a very, very easy pick."

Played nothing but LT all through HS and College. But this is the NFL, will he get beat at times? Of course he will it's silly to think he won't. He is super talented, experienced and super coachable. It's not a glamours pick but it is the correct pick

How frigg’n dare you!?!! Higgins is my favorite WR in this draft.

Faster than Harry
Better vertical
Better Long jump

Best hands in this draft. 4 career dropped passing with over 350 attempts.

He’s my man! I will wait for an apology for that Harry reference!

You have my apology. You'll notice I posted as a question

There is no downside......

Was thinking … maybe trade one of the round 3s + a 7 and something next year to snag another 2nd rounder? Don’t know if it would help, but sounds cool.

I'd be for that if they can find a dance partner.
