Who is everyone's Rd 1 sleeper? Essentially a player that is never rated or mocked as a Rd 1 prospect. Juan Thornhill There is going to be a run on safeties in round 2, and I think some team (maybe even the Pats) might jump on grabbing him @ 32. He's got off the charts athleticism and his production in 2018 was good to boot. He kind of reminds me a bit of Dmac..converted CB to S, similar athleticism and ball skills.

I think a run on safeties is a definite possibility in Rd 2.

Got my final mock done. I’ll post it in the morning. I found it especially difficult this year. NE could go a lot of different routes. Probably the toughest decision for me was whether or not to go with a QB early.

Well, draft day has finally arrived. This is as important of a draft as NE has had in at least a decade, IMO. Loaded with picks, Belichick has a great chance to add talented youth to this roster, and I think this is a very good draft class to do just that. Of course Belichick will probably make plenty of picks that none of us saw coming, but in the end I'm excited to see the class that we end up with. Cheers to a terrific 2019 Draft Class for the Patriots! I'll be posting a final mock in a little while.

One more thought. To me, the strength of this class is the D-Line, O-line, TE, and Safety. I like Belichick's chances to improve those parts of our roster. Luckily, NE has needs at DL, OL, and TE. Of course NE will also need to add a WR, and while I wouldn't call that position a "strength" in this draft, I do see quite a few players who look like good "fits" in NE's scheme. Hopefully BB will grab one of them.

Who is everyone's Rd 1 sleeper? Essentially a player that is never rated or mocked as a Rd 1 prospect. One other name that has recently been linked to NE that would qualify as a Rnd 1 "sleeper" in Vandy CB Joejuan Williams. He's a huge CB (6'4) who most project as a guy who can effectively cover big TE's. That was a role that NE struggled with at times last season, so while this could be smoke and CB doesn't seem like a need, I could actually see them making this pick at 32. The guy is a very explosive athlete to boot.

12 picks no trades, just picks. I know Trades, but we got them at this moment so here goes. Some reaches some Drops that I hope. 32) Jerry Tillery DL 56) Chris Winovich Edge 64) Amani Hooker S 73) Bobby Evans OT 97) Mecole Hardman WR 101) Kahale Warring TE 134) Devine Ozigbo RB 205) Miles Boykin WR 239) Drew Belcher TE 243) Greg Gaines DT 252) Keelan Doss WR There it is have at it. My reason for D at the Top, after Miami game fiasco, we changed our style, on Defense. We moved people around a lot, we become a versatile Defense. We lost Flowers, that was the big loss of off-season.

So many kids I wanted, that impossible to get in on. I feel, we will get some UDFA for the Defensive Backfield, which is our strength at the moment.

The guy is a very explosive athlete to boot. I gave Williams a long look last week, and below are my thoughts on him. From 4/18: I watched (3) games of Vanderbilt CB Joejuan Williams this morning: Georgia 2018 South Carolina 2018 Ole Miss 2018 What I liked:
-I mean, the guy is huge. -Really good feet and COD, particularly for a big, tall CB -Can smother a WR in man coverage, due to his size/length -Solid awareness in zone -Competitive at the catch point -Coverage diverse -Frequently pitted against good competition What I didn't like:
-He's big and long, but I think he plays small vs. the run. -I think smaller, quicker WR's and/or good route runners could give him trouble, if they get a clean release -If he's beaten, he doesn't really have the makeup speed to recover -His ability to stay stuck to blocks on the perimeter is a concern -He'll tackle, but he plays like a much smaller player in that regard... didn't see much thump. -He had a really tough game vs. Georgia Overall: I guess I wanted to like him more than I did. I'm partial to physical DB's that generally punch up in weight-class, and feel like Williams plays smaller than he should, particularly vs. the run. I do see obvious man/zone coverage ability, and think he could be a weapon vs. TE's and bigger WR's, so I get the allure there. I don't love the player, but would be interested to see how BB would utilize him.

So we will all sit up watching as the first rounds grounds through each pick hour after hour. As it finally gets into the 20s we wait for a trade... forward... backward?... nothing... pick after pick. Tic toc. Tic toc. We sit. we wait. When will it happen.... but.. it.. does..nt..... And then. late into the night, 32 finally comes up, our pick finally arrives.... OK... OK.. well... this guy didnt fall far enough... That guy didnt fall... but look at all those choices we have... Who will it be... Pick of the round.. Who will it be... BBs vote holds the key... Its up to him. Tell us who.. will be pick of the day... The clock ticks. 15 minutes turns to 10.. to 5.. to 3.. to 2.. .Come on BB... who will it be? And then at the 11th hour of the 32nd pick it happens... BB has traded out of the first round.. Well, sleep well. we have another 2nd round pick for tomorrow...

I don't love the player, but would be interested to see how BB would utilize him. It is a good thought though. Situational football, matchups... you need to create matchup strengths. So he could have a real value in being a "component". It is not just about your 11 best on their 11 best... And perhaps they fix some of his issues? Your looking at him is worthwhile.

TE's did nothing against us from the Miami game all the way to SB. Whatever they did, they shut down that position. That would be a real shocker, if they grab Williams.
