Can we for ONCE get players that dont have to switch from RT to LT?

[@Gabbagool345]

You don’t find good LT in round 3. Unless you take joe alt with pick 3, we weren’t getting a good tackle after the first round at LT…

[@Justin92Soxfan]

Not in the third round, true left tackles are guys you take in the top ten when you don’t need a quarterback. We didn’t have that luxury.

[@hero4559]

This guy is genuinely a good gm

[@bigbadLN]

I think Penix elevated the stats for his offensive teammates. WR have more production, and O-linemen gave up fewer sacks and pressures. This is because Penix gets rid of the ball faster than all the other QBs and throws the ball downfield.

[@elizabeth9674]

I am watching this at the completion of the draft and I think Robert and Jonathan should hand Elliot the GM title now. He brings so much institutional knowledge and experience to the job from around the league and yet still has an inside connection to the team. I thought he did a great job with the draft, understanding that we won’t really know for a couple years but given the information he had and the teams biggest needs, I thought he hit a home run.

[@Zahok1]

1st round talent available at the top of the 2nd including top notch LTs - let’s get a 3rd round WR. Good receivers available at the top of the 3rd round - get a 5th round RT to move to LT. wE wErE tArGeTiNg tHeM Patriots let Belichik take all the blame and yet here we are. Even less spending and bad drafting.

[@onestepcloser5925]

Jacobi Meyers had 800 yards and 6 TD’s before he left. Is Polk’s ceiling higher than that? From what I hear it’s not. So we still don’t have that player who frightens defenses. Sometimes you need to take a swing and draft talent. We are always reaching!

@@verdict4048 Fr now thta I think about it the combo of javon baker and jaylin Polk would be great. Both of them have great catch radius’s which will help maye out a ton

[@kylemcdade843]

Great take. I did really like the Baker pick, but we did reach on quite a few players. And most likely the Steelers sloppy seconds Tackle will start at LT. You can't just draft a 5th rd RT and expect he'll start at LT.

I’m not liking Wallace pick. BIG if putting him on left side.

[@kylemcdade843]

Ya, pretty sure we'll start Okorafor at LT week 1. Assuming the 4th or 5th rd projected RT, won't be the best LT out the gates.

[@jimstevenson424]

Bunch of 'I don't knows'. I don't like old college coach connection to Polk (too biased). Don't have a read on Van Pelt (seemed like nobody wanted the job and Pats settled). Is this going to be the Cleveland offense but with no TE? Need a RB.

[@Cblan1224]

You better be right

[@michaelskinner8296]

A bit frustrating for me when I see first round talented players sitting there that would absolutely start and improve the team go by the wayside to other teams. I hope these guys who were picked end up helping us or else this is a mess. We’ll see.

[@kylemcdade843]

Hoping we get the WR Franklin out of Oregon in the beginning of the 4th. He had a terrible combine, but it may have just been a bad day (he was sick too)

[@Messimiles9]

@@kylemcdade843yup. He would be so good for YAC. He so quick which is something they need

I wish kraft would’ve taken this GM job more serious

[@wolfkingsigma2795]

They didn't need to - they had the greatest QB and could run a bargain sale team with him.

[@JOMRANN]

I like the Polk even though I wanted AD I get there’s things about him that are a risk but if he plays great add it to the list of WRs we could’ve gotten but passed on like Deebo and AJ. Also Caedan I’m not a big fan of reaching on a RT hoping he can move to LT

[@chetgray2424]

Please with the Patriots draft so far! 😊

[@maddenplaya2097]

No don't just blindly have faith anymore these guys are reaches and better work out when top talents were still available

[@Chris-fl5lw]

"We took players we targeted". They were both reaches based on consensus knowledge available now. This reeks of BB thinking and falling in love with your board, and not looking at the actual big board for best available. I really hope I am wrong and both these players are immediate impacts.

[@chinitokuliao1134]

Consensus most of the time is wrong lol....they had Mac Jones, Justin Fields, Trey Lance and Zack Wilson as round 1 QB' s and boy they were wrong 😆😆.... Consensus had Nkeal Harry as a 2nd round true X elite traits WR and he busted hard....... consensus had Brady as 6 rounder to undrafted and he ended up being the GOAT......PuKa Nacua's consensus was a low end project WR mostly an undrafted WR and was the best WR from last year draft...... consensus means nothing

[@Gabbagool345]

Also “consensus” on Polk was all over the place. People had him going in the late first, people had him going at the end of the second. It was all over the place….

[@ramseykerkula7758]

Dudes love the media big board. Learn football and actually watch college sports not KZbin highlights

[@ramseykerkula7758]

. POLK is high-end Jackobi Myers, but the ranks 300 out of 3500 wr since 1980 in athleticism .... you don't know ball just say it

[@kylemcdade843]

@Gabbagool345 , I never once saw Polk projected in the first round. Dude could be good, but he's not naturally amazing. Stop slobbering allover Wolf's shaft, and just admit that we reached on a few players. It's fine and they may turn out to be great additions, but we definitely drafted like 3 players wayyy ahead of where they would have gone.

[@pariswilson-xq6ff]

Now all yall fans can shut up about him just being a RT when he's said himself he can play all over the line and played LT at the shrine bowl

[@donaldmacneil9357]

Well, as long as HE says so. Oh, but he played lt in an exhibition game, oh, okay. He has a 5th round grade by 3 different sources, but as long as he says he’s a Hall of Famer, it’s all good.

[@CrosswaIk]

Absolutely no one else has said that. Every other analyst seems to say he can't play at LT

All I gotta say is if Polk busts and McConkey and Mitchell are Pro Bowlers I'll be pissed. I am sick of this team going off script at receiver why can't they draft normally?!

[@onestepcloser5925]

We like receivers who do everything good but nothing great.

[@kylemcdade843]

Mitchell will probably be solid. I honestly thought McConky was way too risky. Somebody that looks great in combine stats, but never put up over 800 yards.

[@JordTheeNord]

@@kylemcdade843 McConkey is both much faster and a much more developed route runner so he projects to separate from defenders much better in the nfl. And since McConkey is going to have Herbert throwing him the ball I'll be shocked if Polk has the better career.

[@kylemcdade843]

@JordTheeNord , you're definitely probably right and I do think he's better talent wise. The problem I have tho; why didn't he ever put up numbers his whole college career? Dude doesn't even have an 800 yard recieving season his whole time in college.

[@JordTheeNord]

@@kylemcdade843 Hard to say since I don't follow college football at all. I just know everyone says he's one of the best route runners in the class and ran below 4.4 at the combine which is a really great combination.

[@kylemcdade843]

Major reaches for both players though

[@Gabbagool345]

Based on your uninformed opinion. Plenty of analysts had him top of the second, plenty had him at the end of the second. It means absolutely nothing, and neither does you opinion

[@kylemcdade843]

​@Gabbagool345 , based on the opinion of many professionals. Polk was mocked for middle/Backend 2nd (Please let me know who projected him as 1st rd talent), and the lineman was projected more 4th with some 5th round. All three top 3 rd picks CAN pan out in the NFL, I just don't know if they will. Polk is my favorite to actually pan out, but I think he's more similar the the comparison I've heard, Joshua Palmer. Wallace's big negative is footwork and being out finessed, so we automatically we can just put him at LT and watch him get roasted by fast speed rushers..

[@boschlosser10]

Maye needs to sit a year.. until he shows legit skills and decision making head over heels than Jacoby Mac jones Zappe.. etc.. otherwise he will be fed to the wolves.. not thrilled so far with the selection in 2-3.. see what value they get in the 4th and 6th but imo Harbaugh winning this draft so far

[@spod7575]

Polk is not weaponizing the offense. Possession receiver. Please stop gaslighting. Other than Maye. Draft is a bust as of this time. Feels like Bills drafts. Still can't draft a true #1. Seems all so familiar. Speed and agility aversion with the Patriots. Ridiculous rationalizing. Another year of leading us down the yellow brick road.

[@kylemcdade843]

I do agree with you for the most part. Polk does atleast track the ball really well with great body movement, so hopefully he works out but idk. He's not an alpha 1. He kinda looks like he MAY start in 2 or 3 wr sets.
