NFL draft day 3 game thread (NO SPOILERS!!!!)
- Thread starter soxhop411
- Start date
Last I remember being bummed out at the end of Day Two, when all the Pats added was a guy (Jimmy G) who'd hopefully never play. And I remember having the exact same "goddamned Belichick just wants to prove how smart he is" concerns about a wasted draft.
And then there was the Stork pick in Round 4, which was way more conventional, and I calmed down. A bit.
If they take Clemmings or Tre Jackson here, it'll feel the same. And last year turned out okay.

Thanks for the Ben Volin recommendation.
We should realize by now that BB does not fall in love with guys purely on 40 times and how high they can jump. He is more concerned with football IQ than combine metrics. I think we can say over the long term that his approach has produced better results than just drafting the best track athlete available.
Expect some more team captains and guys coming off injuries that were previously ranked in Rounds 1 or 2 pre-injury... and a Latvian MMA "project"
Clemmings and, Tyrus Thompson seem like best pass pro OL available per NFL.com.
Maybe keep an eye on Max Garcia -- Florida team captain, hard worker, versatile (started one year at guard, another at center)....though slow (8.18 three cone)

Clemmings has a stress fracture in his foot and teams must have some reason to believe it's pretty serious for him to drop this far.
An OL (no clue who) and either a RB (Ajayi, Langford, Cobb) or a WR (love Rashad Greene) would work here.

Seattle got a very good player, but Washington really got a lot out of that trade last night. Seven picks today, and this is a team that can use those picks. Given his approach to FA and the draft, Scot McCloughan is turning a ship that has been going in the same direction for 15 years.

So SoSH game threads will inexplicably bitch about him on a constant basis no matter how well he does his job?
Yeah, this is a circus. Can you say that without being branded a don't support the troops guy?Mystic Merlin said:
Hot and steamy things sometimes materialize when Panthers cheerleaders get together.
Love the Flowers highlights, therefore I endorse the pick.

It takes an actual pass rush to replace Revis. I like this, all we do in game threads is complain about lack of a pass rush. Well, here ya go.

They want to be extremely flexible in scheme in the front 7. These picks are making it very easy to play whatever type of scheme BB and MP want to do. Really like this pick and the value of where they got Flowers is extremely good.
BB is telling us something: they needed to get more athletic on the front 7 and they have done exactly that between FA and the draft. Adding Sheard, Brown, Flowers, and Grissom have accomplished that.

#Patriots pick Trey Flowers was one of Gruden's favorite players in draft. Reminded him of LaMarr Woodley.

Yeah, I guess you're right about Flowers being stronger against the run.ivanvamp said:
Still I like bolstering the line.
Maybe guard next?
