Couldn’t they have drafted a strong safety though? Idk. A guy like hooker. Hooker isn’t near as big. Williams is better suited to match up with TEs. Belichick has been drafting guys with a specific role in mind, and it’s a good method. I think Belichick knows a thing or two about this football thing. Idk. I don’t like converting a guy. He played a lot of corner at Vanderbilt. Pressing wrs.

Let's not forget that our defense sucks, and needs a major upgrade...and an impact player or two. New England badly needs help at safety, linebacker, and defensive tackle. Yikes!! Maybe they sign one of these free agents on the cheap.

Caserio on Chase Winovich: "He's got long hair, which I'm sure everybody will enjoy... until we tell him to cut it."

Idk. I don’t like converting a guy. He played a lot of corner at Vanderbilt. Pressing wrs. Why can’t a Big 6’3 CB cover TEs? We picked this guy in the second round to cover tight ends? I thought we improved somewhat in that department and they’re getting back bentley who i feel can do that. I feel like it’s a waste of a pick. The next pick the browns select greedy williams who has issues with tackling but who has more upside. Lonnie Johnson Jr as well.

I liked the winovich pick. The only knock on him is his arm lenght. Not idea. Hopefully he can get pass that and provide a pass rush for us.

Case closed We have someone that can cover tight ends already. I think bill selected him because of versatility in the red zone. AJ Brown ate him up in the missi state game.

His track record speaks for itself. He wins a ton of games with all these players that people like you question

Did i say i didn’t like all the picks? You know he has made terrible selections before right? The draft is a crap shoot! He has also lost games with players i have questioned before.

Belichick told this kid he believes he could play anywhere. Case closed We have someone that can cover tight ends already. I think bill selected him because of versatility in the red zone. AJ Brown ate him up in the missi state game. Bill Belichick was very up-front in his pre-draft press conference at one point -- candor that might've hinted at this pick weeks before it was made. He admitted that the team analyzes its shortcomings at the end of the year -- part of the self-scouting process that occurs throughout the course of a given season -- and works to address those however they can so that they don't continue to be stung by the same issues the following season. That's not news, but the positions he highlighted maybe should've raised an eyebrow. "I think those are things that you have to be mindful of," Belichick said. "I’d say usually they have to hit you in the face. Usually, you sit there at the end of the year and say, well, we had a lot of trouble blocking this player or defending this type of player or whatever it is, and then that kind of becomes a need for you. Either we have to change our scheme to do this, which probably isn’t that easy or you would have already done it, or we have to have another certain type of player on our roster that we don’t currently have that has a certain type of skill set. "So, this is another year where there’s a lot of big receivers – 6-4, 225, 230, whatever they are – I mean, somebody’s going to have to cover those guys one of these days." And there are, of course, big tight ends as well. Last season in New England's bye week, we took a close look at a few of the areas the Patriots may try to address in their week off to look inward. One of them? Defending tight ends in the red zone. To that point in the year, no team had faced as many red zone targets sent toward tight ends (17) and the Titans had just gashed the Patriots with players named Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firsker. Belichick added Obi Melifonwu midseason to potentially help his defense cover big bodies -- and Melifonwu saw reps against Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph -- but maybe Joejuan Williams is the long-term answer for those types of assignments. His size, quickness, instincts to the play the ball and fearless on-the-field demeanor would serve him well in those spots.

At that pick number 45 you want someone that can do it all heck bill was thinking about drafting him in the first round. That only means to me they will try him as a cornerback on the outside as well.

Don’t get hung up on Williams covering TEs. That’s but one of the things he’ll be expected to do. And, no, Bentley isn’t going to specialize in covering TEs. He’s primarily a run stopper although he’ll improve in coverage over time.
