    What Positions Should the Patriots Focus on Offense on Day 1 and Day 2 of the Draft

    I think most of you in this subforum are familiar with The Drafting Stage and if not this is taking some of their ideas, altering them slightly, and then updating their totals. In terms of which positions they should focus on the obvious answer is QB if they believe in the prospect. QB is...

    2024 Draft In-Season Notes

    This is your thread for draft notes, hot takes, fits, cautions, etc. I want to plant some flags early: Based on the tape I have seen Jayden Daniels is my QB2 right now over Drake Maye and honestly I might even consider taking him over the anointed one, Caleb Williams. It's part how much I like...

    College Football Bucket List

    I am moving back to the Philly suburbs this summer and plan to see Penn State vs Michigan. It got me to thinking... if you made a college football team//stadium bucket list who would be on the list? I know I want to see or have seen: Notre Dame USC Ohio State Penn State (will be checked off...

    2023 Draft Fits

    I started out my prospect watch list by looking at two guys, Broderick Jones LT out of UGA 6'4" 310, and Darnell Wright out of Tennessee 6'6" 340 and long. It didn't take me to fall in love with Darnell Wright. I know Bill doesn't always like to take RTs in round 1 but Wright is somewhere in the...

    Big Boys Can Boogie (The Offensive Line 2022 Thread)

    The start to the season has a simple theme: pass pro good, run blocking bad. Mac Jones was only pressured 4 times in 33 dropbacks which is the second lowest pressure rate of any week 1 game. Unfortunately, Trent Brown allowed a free rusher that resulted in a strip sack for a TD which I think...

    2022 Patriots Roster, Schemes, Draft and Team Philosophy

    I have a TLDR at the bottom of the page. This is a two parter - one on scheme and one on prospects in the draft. It doesn't neatly fit here but since you all are talking about where Peppers fits and what Bill will do to utilize him I didn't see it as too out of place. If this needs to be moved I...

    2022 Fits

    Let’s kick off the college football bowl season with a thread for prospect fits. I will start with a guy I think can replace Hightower longterm. Right now schematically they are going with ILBs who can take on OL in the run game, blitz, and for Hightower also take snaps as an OLB. Enter...

    Best Positional Groups Under BB

    I was looking at OL groups across the league last night and was thinking that the Patriots have one of the best OL groups yet again. It got me thinking which have been the best positional groups in BB history here in NE. As @Euclis20 astutely pointed out the Patriots have had one of the best...

    2022 NFL Draft - Summer Scouting Edition

    @Brand Name and I are looking at prospects for the 2022 NFL Draft. I plan to get through each position group and then write up here who looks like good potential fits for the Patriots. This is also going to be an easy way to check for college players to look for when you are watching the game...

    Which Rookie Are You Most Excited About Going Into Camp (also can discuss rookies here)

    With camp right around the corner and COVID behind us *la la la la la I can't hear you la la la la la* we finally get some football! Side note: I decided to buy SMU season tickets for college ball this year and if the season is canceled they give you 3 options for a refund: 1) You get your...

    Kill Some Time and Listen to SOSHers Discuss Draft Prospects

    Guys, I apologize for the length of some of these. The truth is I ran out of time this year on Patriots related draft content. I ended up spending about a week or around 170 hours just watching tape alone. Not including notes and writing up mini reports. Then I spent more time looking at...

    The 2020 Draft Contest! New and Improved (Again)

    @mwonow and I are happy to bring you the 2020 Draft Contest. Like last year this contest will have 2 parts. The first part is the same as last year: a weighted scoring system for the right draft picks and UDFAs. The second part is a different this year. This year instead of doing a 53 man...

    Who Are Your 2020 Draft Binkies?

    I am about a quarter of the way through looking at prospects. I'll give you my favorites in terms of the big name top 50 guys at the position I like and then people who might not even get drafted and between. Wide Receivers: Where do I even start? I like a ton of guys this year. Ignoring the...

    We're Onto the NFL Draft (2019 Prospect Thread)

    This will be the thread to discuss prospects. In general the class is loaded at WR and TE. DL and edge have some depth too. Not a good class for LBs minus the top few guys and even then the ceilings are not as high as last year. I expect to see a WR, TE, DL, and Edge drafted. I have started...

    2019 Looking at Potential Future QBs

    Unless Danny Etling is the second coming of TB12 we're still potentially in the hunt for an heir apparent to Brady. To me there is no other position more enjoyable to discuss leading up to the draft than QB especially if it is a need. I'm going to transition to linebackers next year and skim the...

    2018 Patriots Draft/UDFA Reactions

    Well, it is that time again. Christmas and Hanukkah had a baby for football fans called the NFL Draft. God personally tried to watch again at Cowboys Stadium but the roof was closed. On a personal note I was in heaven this weekend with you all here and then having a chance to go to the draft...
