2023 NE Patriots Draft

[BigKen]

Just saw the "Official Patriots Draft Picks"

They didn't look any different so rather than try to scrub back through all of the previous posts, I'll repost them.

1st - #14
2nd - #46
3rd - # 76
4th - #107, #117, #135
5th - None
6th - #184, #187, #192, #215
7th - #245

Total picks = 11

Anyone see anything different??

I gotta believe BB's going to be trading around quite a bit, possibly even #14.

I can't wait for this draft.

I can't wait either. We have 22 pages of speculation at least then we can talk about something a little more concrete

For certain we'll be talking about any correct calls...

Newest speculation...No WR this year.

Bill trades #14 for a 1st round pick next year so he has the Capitol to do what it takes to grab Marvin Harrison Jr.

If we don't get Darnell Washington this year, we better get Brock Bowers next year!

No. It was a unique perspective of taking a top linebacker.....

It's been a long time since I scored a facepalm!

How's this for a mock? They have the Pats taking a QB with #14. I say no way.

Very interesting mock. Wrong but interesting!

I want nothing to do with him at QB. Who cares if he’s a great athlete. Lots of great athletes out there.

Thanks, @cheerupcharlie

Yeah if BB drafts AR15 that will be a huge mistake

The facepalm can be confusing, but my take is YR was facepalming himself.

Like the 2nd guys ideas generally. I wonder if he thinks the 2nd half of the mock is really going to be there at these positions in the draft?

I like both of them. I would be happy with either of them. I do feel since we at least place a bandage on the O Line, and actually have an O Line coach this year we might be able to to wait on OT. I know we have WRs I personally would like to see a top tier WR added. What I am curious about and there is no way to know, what do the Pats see in Thorton? Can he be that dynamic deep threat? If they feel he can that changes the need IMO

Did the Pats coaches see enough of him for them to know what they have?
Did the disfunctional coaching give him a pass too?

Do you think either Josh Downs or Zay Flowers are # 1's?

I think that if BB is sold on one of the top OT's, they will go after him.
If their pick is Darnell Washington, will they be able to trade down or trade up in the 2nd to get him?

If one of the top 4 or 5 OTs are there it's hard to pass up on a potential franchise Tackle.

The disfunction is why I think we all don't know what we have in Thorton. But if the practices and the film show something it does allow flexibility. I question if the two you mentioned are true #1 WR, could be. Downs looks really good to me but I question the level of competition they player against. Playing in the ACC is a lot easier than SEC, Big10, PAC12 etc.

I feel Washington may go late round 1. He is a specimen

Very good read. Author looks at the perspective of our pending free agents after 2023 with our 2023 draft......

Will Patriots double dip at WR with this mid-round draft prospect

This Pac-12 receiving draft prospect could be a great mid-round option for the Patriots.
