With #77 the NE Patriots select :::::: DE Chase Winovich Michigan

"A very Patriots pick. Winovich is a relentless edge rusher who plays with his hair on fire and overcomes his lack of length and bulk. Bill Belichick always says, “Don’t tell me what a guy can’t do; tell me what he can do.” In this case, Winovich immediately adds backside pursuit ability to a thin front seven and will instantly be a fan favorite for his effort and production."

Kelvin Harmon? Hakeem Butler?

 

[BigKen]

BB has to take a TE, even he knows it. Either Dax Raymond or Dawson Knox would be acceptable for me.

Then with #97 I'd like to see him snag a QB.............Clayton Thorson or Ryan Finley.

Knowing BB he'll pick an OT that I've never heard of who will become an All-Pro as a rookie. Like David Edwards 6'7" 315# Wisconson.

Here we go....................................

Damien Harris RB Alabama............................wtf??

 

[patspa]

Wtf

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Kelvin Harmon? Hakeem Butler?

Riley Ridley or G Conner McGovern?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

White's replacement. Strong runner, good blocker and good hands?

 

[BigKen]

Damien Harris 5'11.5" 218#

Three year starter. Had over 1000 yards in 2016 and 2017 and had 819 in 2018 but the Tide were more pass heavy. North/South style runner that is extremely difficult to tackle. A Lagarrett Blount type RB.

Damien Harris RB Alabama............................wtf??

Wtf

Brady is fucking old. A great running game helps him a lot.

 

[BigKen]

good hands?

Had 50 catches over four years for 404 yards. 8 yards per catch. Have to remember that the Tide doesn't use their RBs as regular receivers.

 

[Southieinnc]

Damien Harris RB

Strengths

• Well proportioned with the the frame thickness to handle physical work
• No-nonsense runner, with no sign of cuteness in his game
• Takes a committed effort to bring him down and runs through initial contact to fall forward
• Patient zone runner with good feel for when to keep it flowing play-side and when cut it
• Trusts his blocking up front and generally keeps runs true to designated point of entry
• Has feet to slalom around interior traffic and a sudden jump-cut for alternative lane choice
• Tremendous feel for space
• Works away from traffic while maintaining efficient rush track
• Ability to secure and maintain possession of the football is elite
• More than ready to stick his nose in and mix it up in blitz pick-up

With good hands and never fumbles.....

 

[BigKen]

A great running game helps him a lot.

Michel, Burkhead and Brandon Bolden is back. Not a bad running group.

Just being an armchair GM and hoping to see a TE or decent backup for TB12 just in case he gets dinged up.

 

[SDGuy73]

Damien Harris in 4 years never fumbled

Michel, Burkhead and Brandon Bolden is back. Not a bad running group.

Maybe Burkhead doesn't make the team. He has missed games with injuries. We forgot about White.

With #77 the NE Patriots select :::::: DE Chase Winovich Michigan

there are just three other players in NFL Combine history that weighed 250+ pounds, and ran a sub-4.6s 40-yard dash, sub-7.0s three cone, and sub-4.2s shuttle: LB Brian Urlacher (2000), DE DeMarcus Ware (2005), and EDGE Connor Barwin (2009). That’s ridiculous company.

NFL Draft 2019: 4 reasons why the Patriots selected Michigan DE Chase Winovich

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Had 50 catches over four years for 404 yards. 8 yards per catch. Have to remember that the Tide doesn't use their RBs as regular receivers.

Exactly he didn't get many passes but when he did he catches the ball and secures it. A BB type player, smart, holds onto the ball, not a break away type but will find the holes.

 

[patspa]

Plus he'll help Michel from from taking all the pounding with his knee problems
