I think the Patriots filled two big needs at Edge and Tight End. They burned a lot of draft capital to do it. Both 4th round picks are gone. Gabe Jacas is a violent player and that is what Vrabel and the defensive coaches want. One of the biggest differences in Vrabel's defense and Bill's...

One of the reasons our rotation was limited was because Hurley played Alex way too many minutes. I don't think Nik is going to get 35 mpg. So whoever is the backup 4 will get a little more run than Stewart got in that role in the past. I suspect we can find a player who is a little better...

Let's be glad the Big East got better. He wasn't coming here.

Oppose. I hated the Covid year. I thought it was really bad for freshmen. It ultimately reduces the total number of people who get to play college basketball.

In the NBA, he's a 2. Just like Wade was a 2. Jaylen Brown is a 2. SGs in the NBA are huge. He's slightly heavier (but not fat) than Tyrese Martin, who is also a 2. That said, I suspect UConn S&C and nutrition might get him to about 225.

I'm with you that we still need a backup 4 and a guard who can play PG if needed. Then developmental guys to round it out.

Several options. He'd be there in round 3. Stowers and Klare won't be. The board will probably dictate whether they go Edge or TE in round 2. Might move up using one of those 6th rounders.

It's a bowl cut, not a mullet.

Just more interested in the draft and the team.

My wish list for day 2 includes an Edge and a Tight End. Will have to see how the board falls, but the run on OL last night means that a draft that was already deep at Edge still has a lot of good players available. Tight End is tricky. Delp looks like he has Gronk type potential...

Enough about Vrabel and Russini. It's the draft. Time for the 2026 thread. Pats fill a big need for injury insurance and for Moses' inevitable retirement after this season. While many Pats fans wanted Max Iheanachor, who the Pats visited, Lomu was the higher graded prospect and they assumed...

OP takes it too far. Next year's team is easily top 10. It's arguably better than last year's team on paper. What I do think Hurley is doing is looking to 27-28 and beyond with his portal moves and roster construction. He does not want Pitino's "let's find a whole team every year" model...

100%. This kid has a lot of upside to improve and he's already got solid fundamentals as a rebounder, screener and shot blocker. We're going to love this addition in the future.
