Mitchell is a diabetic, it’s going to cause him to drop. Polk was considered the toughest of the Washington receivers with maybe the best hands in the draft. He’s not 4.3 fast, but we have a guy who runs a 4.2 and it doesn’t mean shit because he can’t run routes and is a giant [expletive]. Polk runs a 4.5 and seems to understand how to get separation a little bit. As long as BB isn’t picking receivers I’ll give the word on the benefit of the doubt. Oh wow. Didn’t realize Mitchell was diabetic. Yep. That’s tough for a pro athlete.

If they were going to pick this guy they could have traded down ever further in the round. This pick was a reach. Pick was based on need and not talent. im not saying at all this was the right pick... but id read/heard stuff over the last week he was moving up draft boards and plenty thought he wasnt making it to rd 3... so maybe it was a reach, but seemingly not a huge reach.... and no offense, got to believe even the clown show that is the collaboration station has a better idea of when someone is going to get taken in the draft, than a bunch of patriots fans on an internet forum... again.. none of that means this is a good or bad pick or this kid is going to be a good or bad player

I'm in wait and see mode…on everything. On Wolf, on Mayo, on our entire coaching staff, on our draft picks. If Polk turns into a baller I won't give a flying f#$% where we picked him or if there was a chance we could have gotten him later. If he sucks or is just a jag I'll care.

If he sucks or is just a jag I'll care. yup. same here. going to give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment and see how the rest of the draft goes, the offseason, this season, etc. im still thinking this is all much more of a clown show than a real legitimate good football operation, but im going to give them time to (hopefully) prove me wrong (or right)

Okay I’m good with passing on him. Why not stay put and draft Mcconckey if a WR was the what they wanted. There was no WR left with a high second round grade for me, and the next closest guy wasn't Polk. He might become a good physical possession guy, but you don't pay high 2nd round value for that.

Probably not to the extent you do, but I'm pretty skeptical. I'll pass judgment after the season…unless it is really freaking ugly in-season.

Not only is there a bigger premium on left tackles, but he was taken 18 picks later. The Pats needed a left tackle, Okorafor sucks... The Maye pick was a no brainer, I'm concerned about what they do going forward.

Well, it's a good thing that stiff BB isn't making the picks anymore.
This team is sooo much better off now.

We go by what is fed to us by media and take it from there. I saw him going late in the 2nd round that's why I thought they could have even moved back further in the 2nd round like say the middle of the round to play it safe and then make the pick.

I'm torn on the Polk pick.....on the one hand, he does have good intangibles, we also have the coach from Washington who worked with him last year so the Pats probably have better intel on him than other teams. By all accounts, he's a more talented Jakobi Meyers type. I don't hate that.
But on the other hand, you passed on good tackles for a receiver that doesn't really have any superstar-like features. At least none that stand out to me. I wanted Ladd McConkey personally if we weren't going tackle. Oh well.

This is an example of why I do not believe in BPA the way that most people think of BPA. I like MVPA IMO there is more to value than talent. Value takes into account... 1) supply and demand 2) hierarchy of importance of roles

There's some guys who might be good the following season because they need to sit and get stronger. Frank Crum is an underrated tackle left on the board who might be able to start this season.
