2023 NFL Draft Official Game Thread (This is the thread WITH SPOILERS)
- Thread starter bsj
- Start date
I think the real answer is he thinks we can get by with the Anderson and Reiff additions, both are lower end starting caliber players, and this draft didn't fall to him where he felt there was a short or long term starter at T in it. Bill isn't afraid to trade for tackles either (Brown, twice), so if he doesn't see a guy, he will wait.
Brown, Reiff, Anderson, McDermott have all been NFL starters, Cajuste as a backup and Steuber as a development tackle.not sure how many tackles we expect them to carry.
They will only be kicking off a few times a game the way the offense looks, though. But yeah, the Pats punting and kickoff teams were abysmal last year.
I'd be down for this and it makes sense. Onwenwu was more than serviceable at RT.
That was my assumption. Maybe Klemm
knows a lot about Forsyth and concluded that he sucks.
Thanks. ESPN.com has been tough to navigate for me but I finally found how to look at the rounds.
So on Andrews, his coach at Troy was......
Former Patriots offensive line coach (and current Texans assistant O-line coach) Cole Popovich.
Edit- got this tidbit from a Texans reporter tweet mentioning Texans were fans of Andrews but chose Juice over him.

One takeaway from today.... Bill appears not to be the only one who was not a big fan of this year's WR class.
He seems to rarely be fans of the WR class, or the WR free agents, or those available in trades…but, ideally, a team needs someone to catch the ball (and throw it), no?
Yup. And depending on what they do with the next fourth im beginning to think they are fans of strong and/or Harris because this is a great round to pick running backz
Swift is a good rental for Philly. They lost Miles Sanders in FA, so this replenished some depth.
All the low athleticism QBs coming off the board.

He's literally used a 1st and 2nd in the previous 4 drafts on WRs (so 1/4 of all picks), has a long history of trading day for WRs (Parker, Sanu, Cooks, Moss, Welker, etc. etc.) and in the past 3 years we have signed a ton of WRs at solid $ amounts: Juju, Agholor, Bourne) not to mention TEs (Henry, Gesicki, Jonnu).
You can criticize how they turned out, but the last 4 years in particular Bill has spent a lot of resources looking for pass-catchers.
These fans have to be paid actors who responded to a Craigslist ad. How is everyone there this excited for the 4th round of the draft?
Well, I think his lack of success in the past 10-15 years at the position suggests that what he thinks of the WR class may not be all that telling; he doesn’t have a great track record there as of late. I think it largely comes down to BPA though; he’s clearly rarely drafted for immediate need (with some exceptions, like Mac).
But point taken, you are right that they have expended a lot of capital on WR in the last few years, with minimal success.
How are people excited for beads at Mardi Gras??? It’s a party, they’re partying.
I just think when you have the highest paid long snapper in the world, you need someone good to snap to.
