Evaluating the Last Two Patriots Draft Classes w/ Dane Brugler | Patriots Daily

[@flyingelvis8850]

Taylor, we're thinking the same. Patriots off-season FA & Draft picks: ---WR Tee Higgins ---OT Garrett Boles ---DT Alim McNeill ---Edge Josh Sweat 1/4 Edge Abdul Carter 2/36 CB Jahdae Barron 3/68 LB Danny Stutsman 3/83 OT Grey Zabel 4/? OT Anthony Belton

[@flyingelvis8850]

Abdul Carter is the difference maker of this draft. And he will be available at 1/4. So Patriots/Wolf, pick Edge Abdul Carter.

[@BG-qs6ii]

McNeil has already resigned with Detroit. Double dipping at OT doesn't make sense either, but I think Carter could be a game changer and really like Barron as well. I'd prefer someone you get than Bolles as well, A Jackson and D Moore may make it to FA

[@EjTooSmoove88]

will johnson 1.4 blue chip franchise changer. better prospect then gonzo. why not have both

[@BG-qs6ii]

@@EjTooSmoove88 really good player

[@flyingelvis8850]

@@BG-qs6ii Thanks for the Alim McNeill update. There is no double dipping at OT. OT Garrett Boles will be 33 yrs old during next season. He's a 2-3 yr contract. OT Anthony Belton is a developmental OT who is 2-3 yrs from starting. They're both Left Tackles abd Belton would be learning from a veteran.

[@oldernu1250]

Taylor, appreciate your podcast. Good commentary, Brugler is a fine guest. What happened with past draft classes? Did coaches make bad picks, did scouts misevaluate? Can't fix problems unless you recognize them.

[@andrew_xlr]

Love Dane. Great show

[@nathanbarnett1568]

You could put 14 future hof wr's in this draft and the patriots would somehow pick the one guy who sucks

[@DenzelVincent00]

realist comment ever🤣 they would definitely find a way to somehow miss on all of them and take the worst WR possible

[@36ELGALAN]

So crazy that this team is still looking for a 1 WR after so many WR picks they've made over the last few years

[@thunderhead1969]

Most recent draft is horrific outside of Maye. Fire Elliot Wolf and Matt Groh.

[@MrSnuff-sn7lf]

If the Patriots do end up drafting top 3. Then please just draft the best player available. I love both Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter.

[@johnhaversack1634]

Hunter is the pick...Carter is overrated.

[@claytonboucher9472]

Man I wish they took AD Mitchell that was my guy rd 2

[@eriks.uperpatriot5817]

I will agree that Wallace & Robinson were drafted at least one round early. I’m not giving up on Polk & Baker yet. A lot of rookie WR’s don’t have big impacts year one. Let’s see them next year.

[@jwheels9876]

Baker has no impact and at this point Polk has a negative impact when he plays lol.

[@nickmejia5168]

@@jwheels9876Polks situation seems more mental atp bc theres no way he's that bad...and baker hasn't earned/ been given the opportunity to make an impact

[@jwheels9876]

@@nickmejia5168 I don't care what it is, he's a liability on the field at this point and if they can find snaps for Polk, they can find snaps for Baker to see what he has. They're 3-10 , the season is over, let's see what we have in the young guys at this point is the way I look at it.

[@Pyschedelicfunk]

The past draft was terrible besides Maye. I think everyone can agree with that.

[@JB99-99JB]

can’t call it terrible until year 2, plenty of rookies struggle year 1

[@googlechicken]

@@JB99-99JB that is true to an extent but you can usually tell if the players taken in the first three rds are going to turn into productive players especially at the skill positions

[@googlechicken]

They get no Credit for the Maye pick unless you want to argue that they could have traded down and not gotten him

[@JB99-99JB]

@@googlechicken they should definitely get credit for it, this season alone was a reason why some people thought trading out of the pick would’ve been smart because of how bad the team is. obviously i’ll take a bad season as long as we have our franchise qb but trading out of 3rd could’ve def been an option so not doing it is a good decision

[@googlechicken]

@@JB99-99JB depends on what they could have got for the pick they could have taken Nabors and then moved back into the 1st with their extra Capital and take Fuaga or even Bo Nix or an edge rusher like Verse or Chop Robinson so they could have conceivably been better off doing that

[@petermarshall6577]

Should have used draft capital to move back into the 1st round for a LT JMO...then and now. Mapu being drafted at #76 in 2023 was a big miss.

[@spod7575]

Finally someone outside the Boston media bias, speaking truth to the terrible picks by Wolf, who Polk was picked a round early.

[@claytonboucher9472]

Seems like they just need to draft best player available. It was clear rounds 2&3 were reaches. The roster needs everything minus qb. Can’t be burning top 100 picks

[@claytonboucher9472]

If the draft was before free agency probably would’ve made it easier for us but who knows

[@RetroKong77]

Who should we draft next time? Any ideas? I really want a better offensive line. Does anyone one agree?

[@ryanmajor5800]

I think the outline for the Patriots offseason is very simple. Free Agent musts: WR-Tee Higgins CB2- Chardavious Ward/Charlton Davis III FS- Move Jon Jones Draft: 1-Will Cambell OT LSU 2- EDGE- preferably one of the Ohio St guys (Jack Sawyer/JT) 3- Developmental TE (one to learn from Henry and we need youth/a solid option here) maybe Luke Lachey? Major Taylor? Harrold Fanning Jr? 3-Best RB (I love Damien Martinez/Treyvon Henderson/Jaden Ott/Dylan Sampson/Kyle Monungai/Devin Neal) honorable mention Pat Bryant like mentioned above, love the player, hes a 4.5 40 guy.

[@11blackskimemr70]

Pats losing strategy of taking the second best player in a college teams positional grouping , who could not be properly graded due to impact of best player in grouping due to opponents strategy/matchups. Polk is good example as opponents double teamed best wr with best defenders and Polk benefited from weaker match ups. The Penn State O line pick is also the same poor pick. If player isn’t best on his college team why draft so high for a pro team

[@Willie-es1df]

Why are they not giving javon baker a chance

[@johnhaversack1634]

Maybe because he isnt any good.

[@Jack-ms3so]

I don’t like the idea of the Pats drafting a QB, they need to go the way of free agency and sign a proven talent.

[@ponce1741]

hope we dont overdraft a OT in the top 4 of the draft that we pick........there are no OT worth of a top 10 pick in this draft.

[@Danielspacex]

So depressing...what a crap draft from Wolf. .

[@Danielspacex]

Was hoping for a different result....

[@Mooseman327]

@@nightspeed2386 Different conversation. Bill's last four drafts sucked and Wolf just did him one better. They fired BB, and they should fire Wolf before he does any more damage to this team. This team needs 2-3 great drafts in a row to get back into the swing of things and Wolf is NOT the guy to give you that. Can't the Pats find people who are good at evaluating talent? The answer seems to be "no."

Oh, no, we won't. If Maye is the only good thing to come out of this draft, then Eliot Wolf should be fired and we should be saying that it was a horrible draft. And that's what it's looking like so far...horrible.
