I mean he did an 8 minute update. It’s not like he took 3 hours. A lot of GMs were interviewed last night. Part of the gig.

I think you can believe that this pick kind of sucks without thinking the sky is falling or considered the new regime a complete failure already.
You’re right, I walk back some of my histrionics. I just was hoping they would move up before the OT run, but who knows if that was even possible.
That would have been an amazing question to ask in the press conference. I get Sean Payton or Kevin O'Connell doing a quick 5 minute interview between picks, but calling it quits for the night and talking to the media is a little weird.
Edit: after further review there wasn't much difference after all. Nothing to see here!
Sure maybe they could've moved up for the BYU kid but i agree with some who are happy they are actually addressing needs . Polk was a very minor reach. Just keep loading up depth on Offense for Maye
Pats three biggest needs going into the draft:
QB - check
WR - check
OT - check
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Pats do this in a draft and I’ve been following the team since 1976.

KC has drafted multiple impact starters each of the last 4yrs. Not sure where you are coming up with terrible drafts. One year they didn't have a 1st and every year they were drafting late. 2020 Snead, Willie Gay Jr. 2021 Nick Bolton, Creed Humphrey Trey Smith, 2022 was bonkers, Trent McDuffie (traded from NE), George Karlaftis, Leo Chenal, Pacheco 2023 Rashee Rice.
NE hasn't come close to that level of success in the 2020s.
Still seems weird — but if that’s what they do, that’s what they do.
Isaiah Adams went 71.... so yeah, the NFL's take on OT is not showing to be the same as ESPN or the like, Suamataia going mid 60s, Wallace, Coleman, Adams late 60s to 70s.... the messy middle of the OT class means if you like a guy you gotta grab him.
Let’s look at the upside. If we agree on the next pick then we KNOW it’s a home run (more than likely a whiff but we get the euphoria of a home run today)
I don't know shit about college football players beyond watching occasional games. But I do know what the Patriots need in a general sense and agreed, they addressed their top needs.
Sounds like a fairly safe and relatively conservative path for the new front office. We will know in a couple of years if it was a good draft or a bad draft.
Hey, let's get a sleeper TE somehow. (wish casting)

That’s a very good point. Can’t argue with the positional value process there
lol. If we both don’t know them, then let’s just agree it’s a home run for the vibesNext pick is someone I've definitely never heard of.
Yeah but I don't have a starting grade on him. This was a massive reach and imo a shitty pick. It might work out for him to be a low level LT or an average RT. I don't think so. I hate this pick. He was like 186 on the consensus board. Polk was a reach by a round. He is a reach by 2-3 rounds. What the fuck is going on tonight. So disappointed.
Lmao. I was just cooling down.
in all honesty, none of us know anything. SMU does the work so I respect his opinion a lot, but who knows.
ideally, you move down and take Wallace. But then again you hope the Pats have good intel on who is going to take who
We can only applaud good picks. For bad picks we need to wait 2 years to make sure it doesn't work out before complaining, or tut tut tut tut...
I think you weren't talking into account that Wallace's brother was an "oyster scientist, or something".
Wolf strikes me as pretty chalk/vanilla, so I'm surprised they are reaching. Still time for redemption in R4.
TIp Reiman in the 3rd?
Man NFL boards are definitely all over the place this year compared to the media boards

COnsensus board on O-line appears to be WILDLY off guys in the 40s to the 80s all went in the 60s, guys deep into the 100s went in the late 60s to 70s. I think the consensus just wildly underestimated the appetite across the league for O-line compared to other positons.
