2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS
- Thread starter tims4wins

Pats had to have a lower grade on Kingsley to not move up for him there at a big position of need.
I keep reading this as "Tony Franklin" when ever anyone mentions Troy Franklin and I have to take a pause and remember kickers have to wear shoes now.
Maybe the Patriots tried to trade and nobody would, but they have shown no urgency at all in trying to find a tackle either in the draft or FA.
My theory is they wanted Coleman. When he went they panicked and picked Polk early because they figured he wouldn't be there later. Just a miss all around, pretty obvious Polk still would have been there and they missed out on a tackle as a result. Just poor asset management IMO.
Yep and yep.
Every fucking year they skip the second most important position on the team.
Every fucking year.
I mean all of this is baseless speculation. Every sentence and then it compounds to a conclusion. Guilty!!!!
Correct, it 10000% is, I'm spitballing because I'm irritated at their second round. I know absolutely nothing and venting as a result lol
I do wonder if the Patriots were trying to get into the late 2nd for an OT and just couldn't find a trade partner. Would explain why KC had to pay such a steep price to move up 1 spot
Players left I like for offense,
Javon Baker WR UCF - might be a round early but would fill the need as a downfield deep threat.
Ja'Tavion Sanders - athletic move TE
Trey Benson - electric RB
I'd say Roman Wilson would be good value but he is too duplicative with the rest of their WRs.

Matt Goncalves was projected to go late 2nd to the Chiefs, and can play both RT and LT - is he not worth grabbing at this point at a position of need?
This had him going at 64.

I am by no means a prospect/draft guy. So I have no idea. Was asking because the thread makes it seem like no one left is worth taking.

Benson to ARI.
SO with just the Commies left. Patriots have options:
WR- Wilson, Franklin
OL- Puni, Coleman, Haynes,
DB- Phillips, Kitchens, Abrams-Draine, Tampa
LB- Colson
TE: Sanders

Looking at production in a vacuum, Tez Walker wouldn't be the guy I draft here. However, him being a true X, the Maye relationship, size, etc. I could be convinced.
I'd say a top 75 pick can bust. Especially when there were still a lot of other WR on the board. I'm glad someone else took him.
