Patriots 2019 Draft Thread

[BigKen]

Isn't there some stud OG coming out of BC too?

Chris Lindstrom 6'4" 303

Considered to be the best or second best depending on the source.
May have the best feet and balance of all of the linemen. Was never knocked off his feet during his entire career.

 

[BigKen]

I like Gentry and Parham. There aren't any 6'7" 275 Gronkowski's out there......

Here's the first "watch out for" player. Patriots had him in for a private workout and worked him out again at the University of Georgia Pro day.

Mercole Hardman 5'10" 175 lb WR and Punt Returner. Has also returned kickoffs. Last pick in Round 3.

According to Mike Reiss ESPN on Patriots All Access Pre-Draft tonight 7:25 PM.

Approx. 1000 people at the Patriots Draft Party at Gillette tonight.

We should all plan to be there next year for the 2020 NFL Draft..........It will be the Patriots 60th Birthday Celebration.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

Yes and yes. I am of the mind all three of those guys will go in the Top 20, though.

* gives self small pat on back *

 

[SDGuy73]

No. 32 - N'Keal Harry - WR (ASU).

 

[cheerupcharlie]

I love the pick.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I can live with this pick. Going to be nice having that big WO.

Can't wait for tomorrow. NE with a lot of picks and a lot of talent slipped out of the first.

Irv Smith and Sternberger still avail.

Lots of WRs maybe Isabella slips to the 3rd?

Lots of CBs.

NE could go after Rosen with a 3rd now. Keim's interview after the draft led me to believe they'll move him. Dumb if they don't. Keim said something to the effect you can't have enough quality QBs, injuries happen...

 

[SDGuy73]

The man can catch. He knows hows to use his body.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Well I like the size would have preferred Butler but there are still some great WRs on the board and plenty of picks. Let me call Tom see what he thinks

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Glad NE picked him but this clip shows him being very handsy. I could see a lot of OPI getting called on the rookie.

 

[YankeeRebel]

So we've five picks today and landed a top top notch WR yesterday. Lets get crazy with these 5 picks what if the Pats do this with their follow up picks.

Double Down Best WR avail
Best TE
Best QB
Best DE or DT
Best S

 

[molsaniceman]

atriots selected Arizona State WR N'Keal Harry with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Harry (6’2/228) declared for the draft after a prolific three-season run as a Sun Devil, amassing a career 213/2,889/22 (13.6 YPR) receiving line and efficiently catching 85% of his targets with 20-plus-yard gains on 44% of his receptions last year. Harry helped his stock in Indy with a 4.53 forty, 38 ½-inch vertical, and cumulative 88th-percentile SPARQ score, also measuring in with long arms (33") for a wide catch radius. A physical clasher who maximizes his size and averaged 7.1 yards after catch per reception in 2018, Harry may be best suited for a "big slot" role after thriving on screens and slants in the Pac 12 but failing to show separation skills. Wide receiver was the Patriots' biggest need coming into the weekend with next to nothing behind Julian Edelman. It's obviously a great landing spot for Harry.


now get some D

I like this pick.
A physical receiver who plays competitively.
While he lacks explosive break away speed he will not let a ball get by him without a fight.
Hopefully he is a nice blend of Julian Edelman (competitive fighter) and Malcolm Mitchell (smooth and picked up the offense fast).

 

[TP76]

Good pick for a WR, the guy killed us (Buffs) annually... and we have had decent defensive backs.

 

[BigKen]

The Patriots have two picks in the second round, #56 (Chicago) and #64 (Own).
Expect a trade here. I predict that they'll draft Zach Allen DE Bston College then trade #64 and a 7th rounder
for Josh Allen (QB Arizona Cardinals)

Then the third round they have #73 (Lions) #97 (Compensatory) #101 (Compensatory.

#73 - TE (Sternberger)
#97 - Trade for a 4th and 5th Round (they don't have )
#101 - OT Vodny Cajuste

If I'm right You all have to chip in and get me a gift certificate to the Orchid Spa.

That could work they land a QB, a good DE and a TE with upside. Although I think the Cards are gonna sit on Rosen.

You'll be safe servicing yourself because there ain't a chance the Cards will trade for QB Josh Allen to turn around and send him to the Pats...

 

[patspa]

Well it looks like Rosen to the dolphins.
Anybody Think Pats go after another Wide receiver, Think BB targets one of the West Virginia Receivers. Both Versatile like BB Likes and Sills is a converted QB who was offered a Scholarship in his early teens to Play QB at USC definite BB type. Jennings lined up all over the field and returned kicks and punts. Both over 6 feet. He'll end up on the Steelers probably and continue there success at hitting on a receiver in the middle rounds.

Should be interesting the rest of the weekend, hope they add another receiver and Te with 2 of the picks tonight.
