2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS
- Thread starter tims4wins
- Start date
Worth noting in some pre-draft stuff it was mentioned Milton might be a TE conversion like Logan Thomas
Haha my first thought too when I saw the list. And Harpo made the opening kick tackle! Also remember jingle joints Sellers as a mostly bust for a high draft choice
Texas has had 9 players drafted, which ties the 1984 Draft for its most through 5 rounds
It’s nice to have an actual program again.

Man what a difference a year makes. Last year it was Jones, Zappe, and one other guy I completely forget.
Now it’s Maye, Brissett, and Joe Milton.
Holy smokes.

Milton is terrible, 6th rd so whatever but he is a 6yr starter who completed 38% of his passes over 10 yards last season. Can anyone name a single "toolsy" QB taken 5th rd or later? Productive QBs occasionally provide value like Purdy or Case Keenum, toolsy guys never translate.
Ron Sellers lived up the street from us in Foxboro. Used to see him jogging through the neighborhoodl.
Don’t get this one so much. Don’t you sort of need to have Zappe (or someone else) as backup QB for the first half of the season or so? If Brisset gets hurt in a game, I don’t think you can really just run Maye or Milton out there. So, if Milton goes to the practice squad, won’t someone else just grab him (unless he’s really terrible)?
Zappe to the practice squad?
You won’t worry about losing him, and if Brisett gets injured you finish the game with Maye/Milton and activate Zappe the next game if needed.
Put Zappe on the PS and elevate him until you feel OK bringing in Maye if need be?
What's the new emergency QB rule again? How would that impact the gameday roster with regard to Brissett / Maye / Zappe / Milton?
Sure you can. Rookies start all the time in the NFL, especially highly drafted ones. And if they lose games, so what?
I mean rookie Bailey Zappe started 2 games (and went 2-0). I think the #3 pick in the draft could handle it.
Crum is a friend's cousin, she's always posting stuff about him, rightly proud. Zero star recruit, love to see him on the Pats.Draft Frank Crum and it will have been a successful draft.
Pats select Jaheim Bell, TE from FSU with their final pick
Strengths
Strengths
- Runs well to stretch the field both before and after the catch.
- Toughness to finish contested catches in the middle of the field.
- Able to create first downs out of catch-and-run throws in heavy traffic.
- Creates momentum into contact at point of attack and when climbing.
- Has versatility for a variety of alignments all over the field.
- Hip tightness shows up in route running and stride length in open field.
- Turns to quarterback and gears down rather than finishing routes at times.
- Struggles with instincts and feel as a run blocker.
- Needs to do a better job of fitting up and finishing as lead blocker.
- Hands and catch radius are slightly below average.
Gotta remember this for next year's draft contest... 8 picks, 7 of them came here on 30 visits and the only one who didn't we hired his position coach.
Edit- 6 of 8 forgot Dial didn't visit

He’s actually a very poor blocker. But quick, nimble with good ball skills
would love to know what @luckiestman thinks
