I think CB is more a pressing need than S I think DT is also a need

I think CB is more a pressing need than S I think DT is also a need I believe in Best Player Available over BPA/Position Of Need. (Clearly Atlanta thought Penix was the BPA by far) I think it is situational. If the bpa/pon is close in value to the bpa, take bpa/pon. If not, go with the best value. It is better for your franchise in the long run. Use free agency at PON as a supplement in that case if you come up short handed from the draft because of BPA.

Receivers receivers. I felt they need to double dip take two wideouts in this draft.

Receivers receivers. I felt they need to double dip take two wideouts in this draft. No rush. Take another top guy next year, or look at Dayton Wade as UDFA or 7th rounder. WR Jacob Cowing 6th round if he is still there. Terrell Owens son in the 7th or UDFA.

Who you want? 2 MONSTERS for me RB Braelon Allen (6-2 245) and S James Williams (6-4 231) for me. I'm going with RB Jaylen Wright and CB TJ Tampa. Alternates are TE Tanner Mclachlan and LB Curtis Jacobs.

They should draft a starting left tackle and X receiver... I'm surprised they haven't yet.

Revise: Make that RB Braelon Allen and QB Joe Milton Still 2 MONSTERS Good call on both. I was deciding between Allen and Wright. BPA here I think you have to consider Wright and Milton pops to top of list as well.

I think our offense needs one more shot in the arm. I'm ecstatic over the Maye pick, and the Polk pick is growing on me the more I hear about the guy. The Wallace pick was less of a head scratcher and more and act of desperation given the way the board played out and the fact that there was such an unbelievable rush on tackles in the first couple rounds. Wallace has the size, skill, and strength to become a solid and reliable tackle in the NFL, but on the right side. No one knows how that will workout on the opposite side, where we need the help, and where the tackles are generally required to be faster and more athletic to mirror rushers, or take up more real-estate to compensate. So this is an experiment on a hope and a prayer.
With that said, we could use a dynamic player to help keep defenses on their toes, and I think TE JaTavion Sanders fits that bill. Very much reminds me of Aaron Hernandez style of play where he is big, athletic, and fast enough to line him up all over and the guy is an absolute baller. Getting him in the 4th would be a blessing. Then I think our defense could use some attention, and there's a big need for secondary help and a thumper of a corner just sitting there right now is Cam Hart. Air raid sirens are blaring through the NFL these days and big dynamic receivers are the weapons of choice. At 6'3" and 205lbs, Hart brings size and length to the secondary, fitted to a warrior who has no issues getting his uniform dirty. Sign me up for that. The fact that he shutdown Marvin Harrison Jr in a game doesn't hurt either.

I think the pats need a Block heavy te to make a home on the left side and help chip for the LT at this point. It clearly looks like LT is the offense's weakness. At this point in the draft I'm pretty sure your not going to fill that hole. I think I double up on wr, draft a rb, a cb, a S, and a dt in some order to finish out the draft.

Receivers receivers. I felt they need to double dip take two wideouts in this draft. Javon Baker out of UCF! Sure we would have a ton of WRs going into camp but it’s clearly time to roll over that position and get rid of guys, locks are Polk, Bourne, Osborne, Douglas and then Baker if we draft him. This way we can make JuJu and Thornton actually fight for their job.

Wouldn’t be mad at 2 defensive guys for the line and secondary
or
TE and WR
Or
O-line and WR
Honestly we can wait on a RB or another QB to push Bailey out the door

Players still left on the board...
RB - Isaac Guerendo, this year's Isaiah Pacheco from a guy who said Pacheco was that guy back when.
WR - Troy Franklin, Brendan Rice, Devontez Walker, Malik Washington... we can still get a better WR than Polk. Hell they could get a WR just as good as Polk in the 4th/5th/6th/7th round by taking take Javon Baker. Or take a freakishly big WR who also makes tough catches in Johnny Wilson late.
TE - Theo Johnson is a great athlete if they want a WR type, if they want a blocking type Dallin Holker could be taken late.
OT - Why? How many tackles can they bring to camp and find reps for, they already burned a wad of money on Okorafor and wasted a pick on Wallace. Is the front office going to rectify these mistakes and make themselves look foolish by taking another tackle, they should. Frank Crum is a developmental type but he is likely already better than Wallace. Josiah Ezirim is a similar project... considering our current options I'd scrape the bottom of the barrel for these guys because they still don't have a left tackle. When Calvin Anderson coming off a mystery illness looks like the best option... it's desperation time.
CB - I like Nehemiah Pritchett out of Auburn, has some size and athleticism.
Take a kicker... you need some added competition. If you want to add another QB, Michael Pratt is interesting.

Seriously, I don't understand how the Collaboration can be stunned or blindsided by the run on LT's. Like that wasn't a huge need for our team as well? Makes no sense unless (again) they think Okorafor is the answer and drafting WR took priority over the Tackle position. The Maye/QB pick was a no-brainer.

They didn't see the entire board while sitting there at the top of the second. I loved the trade back... brilliant. They could have done it again probably and still gotten a blue chip left tackle. They took a possession WR... another #2 or #3 WR with only two blue chip left tackles left on the board. Dumb.

I agree with what you said about Paul vs. Polk. Paul is the more valuable pick if they both end up good.

As it stands right now, I'm not impressed or excited with what they've done but what the hell do I know? I'm not an evaluator of talent and don't have the knowledge to know how these guys will translate to the Pro game but time will tell.

I just don’t see that much negative to be too worried. I get we all have preferences, this wasn’t how I wanted round 2 and 3 to go, but I see a lot of good things for the team.

I like Polk better for what the team needs right now and I think people are way way way too low on Wallace Actually his name stood out on most draft boards as one of the better second tier tackles in the draft. The only real issue I have is that they will be asking him to swap sides, and that doesn't always go well. For instance, Onwenu is a pro bowl level guard, and a rock solid RT, but what would happen if he swapped over to the left side? My guess is that we would then have a mediocre LT. I could be wrong, it could be that he would be just as good there than as he is at RT, but that's doubtful considering how the left side is a more demanding position as that's far more often the blindside, and usually where the better pass rushers tend to line up because putting them in stealth mode can be particularly dangerous. I'd rather we grabbed someone with a proven track record of having played LT before and played at a respectable level that would transfer well to the NFL where the competition ramps up significantly. Seeing as the bottom of the barrel was within site as soon as round 3 came around though, it put the Pats in a situation I'm guessing they were hoping to avoid. It's not like half the teams in the NFL needed an tackle, but sadly the way they flew off the board the first couple rounds, it turns out that's the way it went however. 16 tackles selected in the first 3 rounds? Unheard of. Never happened before. Uncharted territory. So the Pats played the odds, and by appearances considering their need, they lost.
