DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official Patriots Draft Day 3 Thread - Rounds 4-7

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Jets raped us on that trade.

Take the keys away from Bill please.

The points on the draft point chart were equal. And we are NOT taking 9 players.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Let the Browns deal with his over-weight arse..

I’m telling you, it wouldn’t of ended well for him here. The Pats weight fines sould if had in bankrupt. I wish him well with his weight issue.

 

[Ross12]

Feels early for a kicker but considering Moody already got taken... if they wanted a kicker, perhaps they knew they needed to take one now.

Good kicker - accurate and can do kickoffs.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Ryland can do kickoffs, so whoever they get at punter can just punt.

 

[Froob]

I hear Chad identifies as they them so we should be ok.

Good joke, nobody has done that one before

 

[PlainOldEd]

We’re we really in fear of him being taken where we had to trade up….come on

I know you don't believe it, but this must be the case. They thought someone was going to take him and they wanted him.

 

[dannydyn]

Did we just trade up in the 4th to get a kicker? Belichick is mid-draft form.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

3 picks until we take another player that'll piss y'all off

We do need a punter!

 

[BadMoFo]

On the Jimmy Johnson draft chart, the Pats gave 70.2 points and the Jets got 70.2 points.

You forgot, Zappe Hour is the resident drama queen.

 

[Pats1971]

Because draft sites spend SOOOOO much time breaking down mid round interior offensive linemen, instead of the skill position first rounders who actually drive clicks.

Just telling people where he was projected.

 

[JackBauer]

We have a kicker, he would have been on the board later, and oh yeah, the last time we took a kicker this early he never made a kick for us.

We have a kicker, sure, but does anyone actually think he doesn’t need to be replaced/upgraded?

 

[Family]

Think of it this way.

If they use four 4th round picks, it's four guys not easily cut.

A kicker takes this pressure off.

 

[Wozzy]

jake moody says hi

Results in the NFL will determine who was the best, not Moody’s up and down career at Michigan that saw him put it all together for one great season at the end.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Yikes - Draft Day Thread reminds of GDTs..

 

[upstater1]

Hope they've checked any tattoos this guy might have.

This is the worst pick for me. He doesn't even seem that good by the reports. If you are going to take a kicker this high you may as well trade up into the 3rd and actually get Moody.

Ryland is better than Moody.

Moody had a very low expected successful rate compared to Ryland who was at the top of the charts. Moody was a net negative at making kicks he should've made.

Moody also has a very low trajectory on his kicks, whereas Ryland gets them high.

But, at the end of the day, not a fan of the first name Chad.

 

[Love The Drake]

• From NFL.com:
• 
  Made 60 percent of his career field goal tries from 50-plus yards.
• Quality hang-time on kickoffs.
• Creates instant lift with end-over-end kicks.

Nothing special by NFL standards.

So we trade up just to have him best out by Folk in camp?
Then he gets cut and picked up by some team during cut downs.
I hate our drafts.

 

[sambam94]

Hopefully this kicker doesn’t have any right wing wacko tattoos.

or left

Good kicker - accurate and can do kickoffs.

So...he is a backup kicker?

 

[Wax Frog]

The? As in singular?

You can’t be afraid to draft.
