2014 Draft Game Day 3: Binkie Watch
- Thread starter mascho
- Start date
Pretty much all the OL are going higher than expected except Tiny Richardson and Morgan Moses.
Mo Alexander was a "big S" I had as an option for the Pats.

It's like the Patriots don't care about other teams boards. Stork would have been around 100 picks later.
How can you possibly say that after the OL we've seen drafted already? Guys like Britt and Schofield were all "projected" as 6th-7th rounders, too.phragle said:

Maybe; you have to remember that the draftniks are especially unreliable once we get past second round or so. The Pats have vastly better info on how guys grade out for other teams than we do, so we really have zero idea where someone like Stork would have gone.
Also easy to imagine Pats (and I'd guess other teams) feeling like once you get to Round 4 there just isn't much 'value' other than drafting the guys you believe in, too.
How about 'PK' instead of 'K'?Buster Olney the Lonely said:
Punters still have position abbreviation integrity, bless them.
I'm hoping this is sarcasm or that you've never paid attention to the Patriots draft under BB. Logan Mankins, Sebastian Vollmer, Tavon Wilson, Duron Harmon all say hi.phragle said:
I think they use OC to differentiate from "back catcher", what many Canadians strangely call the man squatting behind the dish in baseball.

For Bryce Brown, Eagles are getting back a conditional 4th-round pick in 2015 that can be a 3rd in 2016, per source.

The NE denoting pick 130 is showing up on the right edge of my tv screen now. Won't be long now.
lol. I love day three of the draft. The pace is great, just the sheer number of players. So much better than days one and two. The only way this could be better is if I had a keg right now.Mugsys Jock said:
Yes, that's why I said I hoped it was sarcasm; he lead with "It's like..." indicating surprise. I guess he was trolling and I took the bait.Reverend said:
At this point in the draft, I really wouldn't pay attention to where NFL.com or Mel Kiper has a guy rated, esp. for guys on the offensive and defensive lines where there is so much more to evaluating a player than just his film and measurements (can he convert to another position, does he fit our scheme, is he a better player in our scheme than he was in college, etc). If the Pats like Stork, they shouldn't wait another 100 picks to take him just because NFL.com says so. I'm willing to trust that the team knows how to evaluate these guys a little better than the draft "experts" and have a better idea of where they should be ranked.
The Pats, especially, are really good at knowing what the other teams are thinking and where they have guys rated (Easley and JG both good examples of this).

So this sucks

I LOVE the philosophy of the GAROPPOLO pick. I talked about last month on
Damn I was hoping we'd get Thomas as a TE
