Gimme Five: Give me your five favorite picks from the draft. No honorable mention or 5a bullshit, put some thought into you lazy bastards

1. OT Will Campbell. It may have been a poor class for OT and he may not be a hall of famer, but he was the best option at the greatest position of need. I read where some sportswriter graded this a C-. He said that the Pats needed more skill players and should have selected Jeanty. And then there was a run on OTs. We would have ended up with lesser talent.

2. RB TreyVeon Henderson: He is perfect for McDaniels, blocks really well, his quick with great hands some consider it a reach but when I think about how he will fit in McDaniels scheme I like the pick.

3. C Jared Wilson: Is he raw? Yep! Does he have a high ceiling? Yep! We need more than just and OT on the line, tough physical athletic C was a great pick here. So what if he needs a year or two if he's solid for ten or twelve the time is worth the investment.

4. K Arndres Borregales. If there is a team that understand the importance of a K, it's us. Another one of those, "Well they could have waited". There was no need to wait they had already done what they set out to do.

5. DT Josh Farmer: Pressure, Pressure, Pressure, you have got to be able to move the QB off their spot, he has the ability to get after QBs, to flush them from the pocket and into a sack. This pick did not garner a lot of attention but it's a solid pick

I agree with all of this.

I also like the RB UFA they signed, as well as the LO from Boston College.

1)Borregales Best kicker in the draft and a position of need
2) Jared Wilson Best center in the draft and a position of need
3)TreyVeyon Henderson Home run hitter
4) Williams another big play player
5) Will Campbell. I put him last just to piss off @YankeeRebel

My standard response is to focus on game execution and results and defer free agency and draft analysis. However, I really like this draft.

1) C - Wilson, great value and really good tangible.

2) RB - Henderson, he wasn't really on my radar but I like the game breaking ability combined with a plus protection reputation. We need guys that appreciate the best work isn't sexy.

3) OT - Bryant, big and fast for his size and nabbed that late.

4) EDge - Swinson, great value, seems like a late bloomer who just didn't put enough on tape to go in the first two days.

5) OT - Campbell, I only have him here because he didn't represent good value at 4, but he was the right pick.

And to think...If Mayo/Milton hadn't beat the Bills, The Pats could have done all of this AND grabbed at least an extra first round pick for next year.

I blame Mayo. Milton didn't throw one pass to himself. The whole team executed like the game mattered.

I know and I agree.
I actually wonder is Vrabel didn't do Milton a favor by trading him somewhere that has a QB that goes down often so that he will get real reps.

He could have over thrown 1 or 2 though and nobody would have been surprised...

Bourne was interviewed after the game (and he's a good interview) and he had a glow like the team has somehow got rid of a monkey on it's back. The team wanted the win and that stated and ended with Mayo.
