2 failed drug tests 19 20Perkins... interesting. He's been the BPA on most sites for between 30 and 60 picks, wonder why he fell.
Geneo Grissom in 2015When was the last time the Pats picked a Sooner?
Hopefully he’s more Warren Sapp than Randy Gregory.Dan Marino and Warren Sapp fell due to weed too...
Geneo Grissom maybe?When was the last time the Pats picked a Sooner?
Matt Miller had him #315 overallWho the heck is Nahshon Wright?
Chief Admin Officer for the NFL. I have no memory of her before tonight.I probably should know this, but who is the woman announcing the picks?
Interesting. Thanks.Chief Admin Officer for the NFL. I have no memory of her before tonight.
Longtime rumor here in Pittsburgh is that it was cocaine with Marino, not weed.Dan Marino and Warren Sapp fell due to weed too...
Does she get along with Trevor Lawrence?
Weren't there concerns about Marino's knee as well in that draft?Longtime rumor here in Pittsburgh is that it was cocaine with Marino, not weed.
There were concerns about his connection with folks in waste management and the olive oil import export business. Those were fucked up timesWeren't there concerns about Marino's knee as well in that draft?
I remember the concern being that he might be a cokehead.There were concerns about his connection with folks in waste management and the olive oil import export business. Those were fucked up times
Bill Belichick on how the Patriots grade players: "We don't grade players 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...We use a combination of numbers, letters, and colors. And they all have different meanings based on different circumstances"
Feels almost like the Ravens - how did that guy fall? And then the Ravens make the “obvious” move and we all get pissed.I’m sure it’s almost all just coincidence, but still kind of interesting that all three of the Pats’ picks so far this year have been guys who were projected by many to go higher, potentially much higher, than they did. Feels like that is a rarity for a Belichick draft.
That’s what I had thought as well. Marino was the crown prince of Pittsburgh and liked to have a good time off the field.Longtime rumor here in Pittsburgh is that it was cocaine with Marino, not weed.
Grades like this make no sense...as they note, they had a need, and if they did not take him someone else would...but it's a C because he was the 25th overall prospect. That is just stupid.PFN analysis on the Pats' first three picks:
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/new-england-patriots-nfl-draft-picks-grades-2021/
Jones: Graded a C. "his inability to drive the ball consistently down the field had even Bill Belichick shaking his head during Alabama’s Pro Day. Jones ranked as the 25th overall prospect on Tony Pauline’s big board, representing a reach at 15." (but they had a huge need and he wasn't lasting til #25)
That was my comment in parenthesis - that they had a need and he wasn't going to last til then. So it's like they didn't even understand that.Grades like this make no sense...as they note, they had a need, and if they did not take him someone else would...but it's a C because he was the 25th overall prospect. That is just stupid.
Also, Trey Lance who they have listed as the 20th overall prospect and was picked 3rd gets an A- rating...
He must have been pumped to go to Miami as a coke fiend back in those days.That’s what I had thought as well. Marino was the crown prince of Pittsburgh and liked to have a good time off the field.
Two of Miami’s all time draft picks come back to drugs. I’m cool with that.
Colors???@SeoulSoxFan BB seemed very chatty today

Barmore: Graded an A-. "Although he received some pre-draft criticism, anyone who witnessed Barmore’s display in the national championship game knows that he can make plays."
Perkins: Graded an A+. "For me, this represents an absolute steal for the Patriots with the 96th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. Ronnie Perkins was one of my highest graded pass rushers."
