2016 NFL Draft: Day 3, Rounds 4-7
- Thread starter SeoulSoxFan
- Start date
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?
With 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.
[holds up a lighter]
Now grabbing on to the chance that Braverman goes undrafed and comes in as an UDFA mega stud.
Blount, Bolden, Brown, Lewis, White, Gaffney, Iosefa
Not exactly Csonka, Kiick, and Morris. But if the OL blocks, they should be ok.
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.
Just woke up again. Broke out the UDFA talk.
Round 6/7 picks thread is also up, so let's move all draft/depth talk in separate threads.

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.

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.
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.

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.
That was soon debunked. Besides, Dobson cost the Pats a pick #59. Lucien may well equal Dobson's production for being the pick #225.
