Isn't Wright basically the prototype of a college star who won't be able to play at the next level because he's not able to play in space?You want a LB? Scooby Wright? No no no. You get Elandon Roberts

Wrong roundWith only Mr. Irrelevant to go, CBS has NE's needs listed as:
RB, OT.
How many had those as top 2 to be addressed as of Thursday at, say, noon?
Tackle sure, but RBs are fungible I don't think there is any reason to draft one.With only Mr. Irrelevant to go, CBS has NE's needs listed as:

That reads like my Pats fanboy madlibs for 2006.Roberts's NFL.com write-up
STRENGTHS
A coach's dream. Tremendous leader on the field and off. Worked all offseason to loosen his hips and improve his flexibility. Loves to hit and has a nose for the ball. Instinctive with an uncanny ability to consistently sniff out the best path to the ball. Lives on a downhill track and makes high percentage of tackles near line of scrimmage. Chest-up, wrap-up tackler. Has heart for days. Square in his scrapes and mirrors running backs effectively.
WEAKNESSES
Not a natural knee bender. Struggles badly with change of direction. Slow to accelerate when asked to stop and start. Below average speed and won't win many races to the edge. Lacks athletic talent to cover in space. Poor ball skills. Missed numerous interception opportunities due to poor hands.
DRAFT PROJECTION
Round 7 or priority free agent
BOTTOM LINE
His head coach calls Roberts one of the best leaders he's ever been around and raves about his work ethic and passion for the game. Despite his athletic limitations, Roberts posted outstanding tackle production and was a commanding presence in the box, but his lack of speed and athletic ability create a paper thin margin for error in the NFL that could be tough for Roberts to overcome.

Now grabbing on to the chance that Braverman goes undrafed and comes in as an UDFA mega stud.
Blount, Bolden, Brown, Lewis, White, Gaffney, IosefaSo I guess LGBT isn't just making the team, he's odds on favorite to lead in carries.
With Lewis coming off of a major injury this is probably the weakest position group on the team. At least at guard they can expect some growths from the young players. Gotta think they add another body or two at RB before camp.Blount, Bolden, Brown, Lewis, White, Gaffney, Iosefa
Not exactly Csonka, Kiick, and Morris. But if the OL blocks, they should be ok.
He doesn't think we're getting compensatory picks in 2017, which I think is almost certainly true since we signed McLellin, Knighton, Harbor, Kuhnm, Washington, Biggers and Frank kearse and only lost Hicks/Tavon Wilson. If I remember the rules correctly you can only gain picks if you lose more players than you sign.Reiss wrote up about the trade on day 3, but what the hell does this mean:
As for the deal with Seattle, things move fast in the draft and the on-the-clock opportunity to fill in the fourth-round pick in 2017 was deemed more valuable than the prospect the Patriots were prepared to select. That was a coup for the Patriots, who would have only had five picks in 2017 (they entered without a 4 and 7), with no chance of receiving any compensatory selections.

When Dobson was drafted there were a lot of articles about how he had incredible hands, some even saying he didn't drop a single pass in his last college season.From this article Devin Lucien says his best trait is his hands:
"I would probably say my hands,” he said. “I think that it is important for the receiver to catch the ball before anything else. I kind of pride myself on trying to be pretty good at everything. That’s pretty much it.” That quality held true during his last season at UCLA and only one at Arizona State. According to Pro Football Focus, Lucien dropped only five passes between 2014 and 2015, and conceded just three through his 98 targets this past campaign.

Sounds like the anti Dobson so far.
That was soon debunked. Besides, Dobson cost the Pats a pick #59. Lucien may well equal Dobson's production for being the pick #225.When Dobson was drafted there were a lot of articles about how he had incredible hands, some even saying he didn't drop a single pass in his last college season.
