NFL Draft Day 3 rounds 4-7

Something's different about him.






You're not kidding.

Called "a weapon" by David Shaw (Stanford HC), Bailey is an interesting dude off the field. He has already graduated and interned for Condoleeza Rice. He's working on his pilot's license and loves to fly.

He holds the long jump mark of 21' 4" at Santa Fe Christian HS where he was a DB/WR and return guy, so he's a solid athlete.

As a punter he's got plenty of leg strength, a knack for the pin inside the 10 and uses angle kicks and aussie backspin. He also handled most of the kickoff duties for Stanford for his 4 years.

I gotta think that Ryan Allen's occasional inconsistency (he's still a good punter) doesn't sit right with Bill and Allen should probably get ready for a fight for his job.
 
Final pick for the Pats - Ken Webster CB Ole Miss
 
I really can't believe Stanley Morgan didn't get drafted. He would be a good pickup to see what he can do in camp.
 
Love this signing.

Patriots signed UAB WR Xavier Ubosi.
Ubosi (6’3/215) spent two seasons with the Blazers after transferring from JUCO, tallying a career 48/1,065/9 (22.2 YPR) receiving line including 7/227/3 in UAB’s 2018 Boca Raton Bowl matchup with Northern Illinois. Big, long, and straight-line explosive, Ubosi ran 4.5-flat with a 10-foot-5 broad jump at the Blazers’ Pro Day. He’s a dart-throw prospect as a situational vertical threat. It's obviously a position of need for the Pats even after the team nabbed ASU product N'Keal Harry at the end of Day One.
 
That's amazing. Damien Harris and Jarrett Stidham are both in this picture!

Wow! BB probably drafted them because they were both coaches.
 
The punter is a kicker. Or the kicker is a punter.

Finkle is Einhort? I like how the Colts relieve the traitor of kickoff duties (especially since they use an extra roster spot for it). Maybe this kid can punt and do KO's, which Ghost hasn't excelled at, which would allow Ghost to focus on the uprights.
 
Tennessee did not have a single player drafted. What in the hell has happened to that program?

The fans made sure they'd never get better than a 3rd-tier head coach for the next 15 years or so, for one. :coffee:
 
For what its worth here is the Patriots draft grades from NFL.com
New England Patriots
Draft picks: Arizona State WR N'Keal Harry (No. 32 overall); Vanderbilt CB Joejuan Williams (No. 45); Michigan DE Chase Winovich (No. 77); Alabama RB Damien Harris (No. 87); West Virginia OT Yodny Cajuste (No. 101); Arkansas OG Hjalte Froholdt (No. 118); Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham (No. 133); Maryland DE Byron Cowart (No. 159); Stanford P Jake Bailey (No. 163); Mississippi CB Ken Webster (No. 252)
Day 1 grade: A
Day 2 grade: A-
Day 3 grade: A-
Overall grade: A
Draft analysis: When Rob Gronkowski had to move outside in the playoffs this past season, it was pretty clear that New England needed a reliable big receiver to win downfield. Harry should meet that need quite well.

The Patriots' interest in Williams was not a well-kept secret -- he had the versatility they needed in the secondary. Giving up a third-round pick to go get him was not a Belichickian-type move, but if they had a first-round grade on him, I won't blame them for making the deal. They found a steal in Winovich in the third round. He's the type of high-motor, versatile lineman who will be a factor early on. Harris is an all-around talent who was worthy of a selection 20 picks earlier than his drafting spot. Cajuste has injury issues and doesn't have the greatest feet, but he could work his way into starting at right tackle.

Froholdt is an athletic and tough-minded Dane who fits the Patriots' Way. Bill Belichick hopes that he can work Stidham into another strong-armed pocket passer; choosing him was a solid value in the fourth round. Cowart and Webster add depth to the defense. Ryan Allen had the 19th-ranked net punting average in the league last year, so his days are numbered with Bailey in the fold.
