Like I said tons of question marks I wouldn’t go crazy when it comes to fant’s stats. Gronk had similar production in college. Who said anything about his stats? ...but if someone was looking at stats Gronks were better, and Gronk never let a less athletic player come out of the depths to leap frog him and steal his starting job either

I’m of the opposite opinion of Fant. Watched a lot of Iowa games and never seemed to live up to the hype imo. I guess I’m just not a big fan of “move” TEs in general unless they are great receivers. They where using two tight ends. The other guy’s pretty good too. We will see. Gronk has similar production to fant in college. They have been trying to run the 2011 patriots O with a QB who is in way over his skis.

No. The guy went in the 5th round. It’s always boom or bust when it comes to these guys. Is am still waiting for Howard to have that big year in Tampa but he plays with a bunch of stars on offense.

Is am still waiting for Howard to have that big year in Tampa but he plays with a bunch of stars on offense. well we are not talking about a guy in the 5th round. We are talking about a guy with questions you will have to most likely trade up for in the 1st round. Look if he falls in their lap at 32 and they want to swing for the fences and believe in it fine. I just do not want to trade up for a guy that has that many questions being asked about his game. ...but that is just me, they know a hell of a lot more info than I do, especially with all the close ties they have to that Iowa program. They have every bit of info possible on players like Hock, Fant, Nelson, Hooker, and even guys like Gervase & Easley.

Agree here, every year we read these college bios that generally point out weaknesses and strengths, totally generic comments and they end up having no bearing on pro results. Mel Kiper or some other draft pundit tells us that Logan Mankins or Nate Solder is a reach and they end up being the best players in that draft class. Athleticism matters, Foster Moreau is my binkie after the first round. I'd like them to grab Fant but don't think it's likely.

I am just saying the guy got in the endzone a bunch of time. There’s other guys with athleticism as well.

People will bitch about it the way they did Gronk and do about Hollister. He missed games each of his last two seasons at Ole Miss.

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... With 12 pics and a 53 man roster all 12 won’t make it. So, we want pick 12. This is the year we move up to get the guy who BB wants. This draft will be like the Jones / Hightower draft. We have the capital to get two great players - they will leave after 4 years but that’s a discussion for another day. Maybe there is a way to keep them longer than 4 years. Say for example Kraft agrees to put them in touch with Lori Loughlin so they can start to help their not yet born children get into USC... maybe as recruits for the Chess Team.

Final 2019 Patriots Mock. 32) Kaleb McGary. OT. UW. This guy is huge. 6’7 319. The only issue is his arms are very short compared to his frame. I’m not worried about that. He can be a bull as a run blocker and he’s athletic enough to pass protect at a high level. NE will draft the BPA at 32, if they Pick there at all, and I think they will view McGary as just that. Scar may have some incentive to stick around for a few more years with thoughts of Wynn on the Left and McGary on the Right... 56) Zach Allen. DE. Boston College. Allen’s the type of player Belichick loves to have on the Edge. He’s a big DE at 6’4 280. He will excel at stopping the run and keeping QBs contained, while also providing adequate pressure when assigned to do so. He’s a local guy who has seen his stock slip since January, but I’m sure Belichick has his eye on him. 64) Andy Isabella. WR. UMass. This is just too good of a fit to pass up. Another local kid, Isabella has the quicks and the speed to kill from the Slot. He would learn from the best playing with Edelman. I just love the fit, and while this may seem like a reach to some, in a few years it will look like a steal. NE Trades #73 and #252 to AZ for QB Josh Rosen and #139 The whole Rosen situation is starting to feel like a total Belichick style trade. I think AZ is sold on Murray and will draft him #1. I think other possible Rosen suites like NYG and WSH will Draft rookies. The Chargers are a possibility to snag Rosen, but I kinda feel like BB may jump at the chance to acquire last year’s #10 pick for pennies on the dollar. NE Trades 97 & 134 to CHI for #87 87. Dawson Knox. TE. Ole Miss. Knox was under-utilized at Mississippi due to Ole Miss having 2 big time WRs to feed. His got prototypical TE size at 6’4 255 and the athleticism to be a force in the blocking game and as a receiving threat. He’s still developing as a TE, but the upside is terrific. If NE doesn’t take him in the Top 73, they won’t be able to wait until 97 for him. Here I have Belichick moving one spot ahead of Matty P and swinging a deal with the pick-needy Bears to land Knox. 101. Jachai Polite. Edge. Florida. Maybe a bit of a stunner here, both in the fact that Polite is still on the board and the fact that he is headed to NE. Polite isn’t your typical Patriot. He’s a pass rush specialist who exploded in 2018 with a great season but didn’t do much before that. He was also supposedly a disaster in combine interviews and had poor workouts throughout the process, which may cause his once promising draft stock to take a major hit. However, his upside is undeniable. At 6’3 255 he can explode off the edge and provide instant situational pass rush. If he’s just sitting there at 101, Belichick may jump all over the value. 139) Lamont Gaillard. OL. Georgia. Belichick loves drafting Georgia Bulldogs. Gaillard is an under-valued interior OL prospect in this class, but a talented future NFL stud and a tremendous Thuney replacement in a year. A perfect Patriots Day 3 pick. 205) Dontavious Russell. DT. Auburn. I’m sold on dexter Lawrence at 32, but I’m also sold on the fact that he’s going to get drafted well before that. Russell is a great consolation prize late in the sixth round. This SEC Monster would be a great snag for Belichick. He’s 6’3 320 and can provide some much needed strength in the interior of the D-Line. Great value 239) Travis Fulgham. WR. Old Dominiam. Belichick may have his eye on this 6’2 215 lb small school prospect out of ODU. He’s a tough evaluation coming from lower level competition, but he’s got great size and seems to have great hands. He also gets open quickly. He is absolutely worth a flyer at this point 243) Malik Gant. S. Marshall. Credit goes to MB for bringing this guy to my attention earlier in the draft process. I love his tape. He flies around the field, tackles well, and shows great instincts. His workout numbers weren’t great, but at this point I think he’s a heckuva Pick. This deep safety class is the only reason he’s available this late. 246) Jordan Miller. CB. UW. The 6’1 186 lb Miller needs a year in the Weight Room/PS, but he’s smooth in coverage and shows a lot of potential. As the saying goes, you can never have too many good DBs, and with a little time, Miller could develop into a very good one. I like the first 3 (also sold on Isabella) and think Rosen for that trade would be excellent. I am not a big fan of Knox.

I was hoping this guy worked out here. I have some hope for Hollister. A lot of people here were all over how much edelman was a waste because he couldnt get on the field due to injuries. Then he got his feet under him. I suspect the same for Hollister though I am not expecting him to impact like Jules. But he has proven he can be a threat as a target for TB.

I was hoping this guy worked out here. I honestly don't know. Might be. Can't make the club from the tub. He can play, he is really just a move TE though. He is in the same ballpark in SPARQ score as Knox, Warring, & Moreau. Similar in size but probably a natural 10 lbs smaller. They also all had similar production and use in the passing game in college. If you go with one of those guys as a mid/late round pick you are basically just resetting the clock on a developmental TE and likely moving on from Hollister imo. Knox is the best of that bunch to me but can he stay healthy?

Do this at 6'6" and 264. This is what made him special. Running over people seen it. Catch like a Slot Receiver, was unreal. Critical Play, at a Critical Time, with a terribly thrown ball. He's money. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrs9rgZ6lZI The GOAT TE.

Of the three scenarios I have picking at #32 as 3rd on the list. Moving up for a falling prospect or trading back to a top 2nd round pick easily ahead of sticking at #32 imo. I agree, with moving up as my most likely scenario, even if a player isn’t necessarily “falling”, but someone they really like. Of course they’ll need a willing trade partner too. I’m OK with a trade up as long as it’s for a trench player on either side of the ball. when was the last time we traded up ... Chandler Jones?

A year ago I was drooling over Shelton. Wonder whether his late work was enough to bring him back after the draft... or is Suh a real possibility. Or.. what do you - or anyone think of Wilkerson. Gresham? Zach Brown or Jamie Collins (would he play within the system)

We replaced him with pennel whose a little much older.

He’s a local guy who has seen his stock slip since January, but I’m sure Belichick has his eye on him. 64) Andy Isabella. WR. UMass. This is just too good of a fit to pass up. Another local kid, Isabella has the quicks and the speed to kill from the Slot. He would learn from the best playing with Edelman. I just love the fit, and while this may seem like a reach to some, in a few years it will look like a steal. NE Trades #73 and #252 to AZ for QB Josh Rosen and #139 The whole Rosen situation is starting to feel like a total Belichick style trade. I think AZ is sold on Murray and will draft him #1. I think other possible Rosen suites like NYG and WSH will Draft rookies. The Chargers are a possibility to snag Rosen, but I kinda feel like BB may jump at the chance to acquire last year’s #10 pick for pennies on the dollar. NE Trades 97 & 134 to CHI for #87 87. Dawson Knox. TE. Ole Miss. Knox was under-utilized at Mississippi due to Ole Miss having 2 big time WRs to feed. His got prototypical TE size at 6’4 255 and the athleticism to be a force in the blocking game and as a receiving threat. He’s still developing as a TE, but the upside is terrific. If NE doesn’t take him in the Top 73, they won’t be able to wait until 97 for him. Here I have Belichick moving one spot ahead of Matty P and swinging a deal with the pick-needy Bears to land Knox. 101. Jachai Polite. Edge. Florida. Maybe a bit of a stunner here, both in the fact that Polite is still on the board and the fact that he is headed to NE. Polite isn’t your typical Patriot. He’s a pass rush specialist who exploded in 2018 with a great season but didn’t do much before that. He was also supposedly a disaster in combine interviews and had poor workouts throughout the process, which may cause his once promising draft stock to take a major hit. However, his upside is undeniable. At 6’3 255 he can explode off the edge and provide instant situational pass rush. If he’s just sitting there at 101, Belichick may jump all over the value. 139) Lamont Gaillard. OL. Georgia. Belichick loves drafting Georgia Bulldogs. Gaillard is an under-valued interior OL prospect in this class, but a talented future NFL stud and a tremendous Thuney replacement in a year. A perfect Patriots Day 3 pick. 205) Dontavious Russell. DT. Auburn. I’m sold on dexter Lawrence at 32, but I’m also sold on the fact that he’s going to get drafted well before that. Russell is a great consolation prize late in the sixth round. This SEC Monster would be a great snag for Belichick. He’s 6’3 320 and can provide some much needed strength in the interior of the D-Line. Great value 239) Travis Fulgham. WR. Old Dominiam. Belichick may have his eye on this 6’2 215 lb small school prospect out of ODU. He’s a tough evaluation coming from lower level competition, but he’s got great size and seems to have great hands. He also gets open quickly. He is absolutely worth a flyer at this point 243) Malik Gant. S. Marshall. Credit goes to MB for bringing this guy to my attention earlier in the draft process. I love his tape. He flies around the field, tackles well, and shows great instincts. His workout numbers weren’t great, but at this point I think he’s a heckuva Pick. This deep safety class is the only reason he’s available this late. 246) Jordan Miller. CB. UW. The 6’1 186 lb Miller needs a year in the Weight Room/PS, but he’s smooth in coverage and shows a lot of potential. As the saying goes, you can never have too many good DBs, and with a little time, Miller could develop into a very good one. Really good stuff man... you might even nail like 4 or 5 of them! haha +1 I think there are some very smart picks in this mock and I really like us going OT right off the bat. Picks I like are McGary, Isabella, Knox, Russell, Gaillard, Gant, Miller Not a giant fan of Allen nor Polite but I get why you chose both. Overall nice pickin'

Some talent there for sure. Teams waiting until after this weekend maybe to pounce on the above.
