Mapu as a C is going to be a “yeah, we didn’t get that right” I think.
The strategy hates you, see you at the Super Bowl!
Re: Antonio Garcia “It didn’t work out for them.”
“They were willing to do it then, why not now?”
Ummm, because it didn’t work out then. 🤦🏻♂️
Honestly – on Mapu, I think the Patriots still wanted/needed depth in the sub-package LB/S. Phillips started 8 games, Peppers only 5 and Mills had 10. Dugger started 15. It's possible he gets more playing time than people initially expect.
Wish they would've taken a receiver. There were so many smaller twitched up guys this year that you could grab in later rounds.
You guys should be Fired!!! Every Year all you do is repeat the same Garbage everyone else says. You enjoy bashing Bill Belichick and the Patriots.
The Patriots did not pick a Tackle because they got a 4th round pick to trade down and they still got the #1 player they wanted in the draft the best CB in the draft. This was their biggest need.
There were no Tackles they were interested in left in the Draft. The 3 Guards they drafted they were very high on. They saw them all in person and had them in New England so they were fits and needs of the team.
You guys actually said that the Patriots should have taken a Tackle even if they did not like who was available. That is absolutely Stupid. So you bash Bill Belichick because he didn't draft a Tackle he did not like. Again you both should be fired. Ignorant terrible analysis.
This was a Great Draft for the Patriots because they got Outstanding players in positions of need. Yes they are all Outstanding because they are all fits for the Patriots team.
Cut S, Miles Bryant, he gets burnt a out. Give Mapu a shot along with Adrian Phillips , Dugger, Peppers
Curran always leading the uprising. Not a Great American like Greg B. Just kidding Tom. I like you and don't care what BB says about you.
Building a dominant defense and i have absolutely no problem with that go Pats!!!!
I like the first two picks. I don't necessarily dislike the rest of the group, but I wish they would have gone for a pass catching tight end or wide receiver earlier.
All the white public school kids want a WR at every pick.
I love the first pick. The second I'm OK with but there were better picks. Picking a 4th round kicker that you traded up for infuriates me!!!! Bills drafting infuriates me more often than not.
These are all fine picks, but not necessarily what the team needs. If your drafting in the first round, then obviously, you get the best pick possible. But after that, I just don't know what they are doing not drafting for their needs.
Miles Bryant won't make the team..he was getting marked last year let him goo..more uche rushing passer..hopefully Christian Baremore stays healthy
We can still get wr from Purdue the white boy & Kayshawn Boutte wr from lsu still available
Because you are giving Bill Belichick way to much credit. We need Elite Deadly Weapons Come On.
Offense doesn't scare anyone. So lets make the defense a beast. A good place kicker and we win 3-0.
Pats have a lot of picks in the rounds where they perform best. I'm not that worried. I like the options on defense so far which gives them more tools to move around and be dynamic, especially with the strength of the teams in the AFC east.
Just how fast Mapu is. 4.5 or 4.75 seems to be a big question. I read he's 4.6 a little slow to be a roving safety.
Pats Zig when everyone else zags… Hasn't worked recently but hopefully it does again soon. Good luck beating the best teams doing what everyone else does though loading up on skill talent.
