The only pick I'm upset about is Sony Michel, and I'm not doubting that he could be a great addition to our offense, I just think we had more important pieces to get. He's supposedly a solid blocker and a great pass catcher. I don't really watch college ball, so I'm only going off what little tape of him I've watched over the past few days and of course the few takes I've read on him from the professionals. The whole ball security thing makes me really scratch my head though, BB hates players with those issues, and he usually avoids guys who have injury concerns like the plague.

That's the ONLY pick I wasn't 100% content with, and it's still not a bad pick. It was a solid draft and I'm glad we picked up some important pieces. Hopefully our defense can continue to improve and start putting at least moderate pressure on opposing QBs, and it looks like we know have a line that'll actually allot Brady the appropriate amount of time needed for him to absolutely shred whoever the fuck is unfortunate enough to match up against us. Should be another solid year.

my very first INITIAL thought when I saw "rb" was me being confused, but man he really does seem like unique talent to say the least

from what i read from places he has "improved his ball control", and that is something that can be taught pretty easily, especially in the NE camp I think

but otherwise i'm with you

i think the draft was solid and im excited to see what the rest of the offseason looks like for us now that we have more pieces to work with


as a GT fan and hating UGA i can say with all honesty michel is on another level with talent.

dude is fast as shit, elusive as can be, and isn't afraid to run between the tackles and still break big runs

he's gonna be the best back in this draft class for sure

You never know with RBs, but Barkley looks like a pure freak. You really think this kid is more talented than the #2 overall (should have been #1)? Like I said before, I don't watch a lot of college, but from what I've seen, I like Michel A LOT more than Penny (Lol Hawks), but he doesn't seem nearly as impressive from what I've seen when compared to Barkley. You never know for sure how players will transition to the big show, but I just feel like that kids got more upside than ours, but that's why he went #2.

Patriots coaching staff alienated a lot of the players last year especially with the benching of Butler.

Based on interviews with Brady and shit it should be interesting to see how everyone acts.

They know he'll burn out in Cleveland in two years and they'll be able to trade peanuts to get him right when Brady retires.
