The 2023 NFL Draft Rounds 4 through 7 4/29/23 12 noon

I do fully expect the next pick to be a punter though, to me that's the only glaring need the Patriots have at this point (other than the previously discussed RT).

I like it!

The offense stats & facts . All say it was a huge issue last year

JuJu, Gesicki, and a second year Thornton should help quite a bit.

Not saying it is wasn't.....I'm just saying look at who is available, who is really going to make a difference this season?

The offense stats & facts . All say it was a huge issue last year. We see if Thornton ,Parker & Bourne improve.

Just put Folk out there @ WR...

Traded our pick to McDaniels.

There is the 5th rnd punter pick

There is the 5th rnd punter pick

I've seriously been hoping they trade into the 5th round to get a punter like, since the end of the season.

 

[headcase]

That is the most unique way of pronouncing "New England" ever

My only guess is BB blames Patricia & Judge for misusing Parker , Bourne & Thornton.

That was one of the issues last year certainly

At least you had a slim idea. I had never heard of the guy.

I noticed that we interviewed him, saw he was a smallish hybrid guy and played at Sacramento State and immediately dismissed the
idea we would take him and never saw him play.

The clips are impressive, but they're supposed to be and that isn't NFL players he was destroying.

On the surface, he reminds me of Kamu Grugier-Hill who we selected in the 6th round in 2016. He didn't stick here but has been in
the league since as a rotational player with 5 different teams.

Let's hope there is some role he can soon make a name for himself in, even if that is to help on STs, but between the injury and seeming
similarity with our other BH (box hybrid) vets I can't really envision him getting a lot of snaps unless he is way better than it appears.

Ideally, I wish we could keep Dugger, now that he's figured things out, but we can't assume that to be the case. Maybe Mapu is a hedge
for taking over for another guy leaving for big bucks. I dunno.

Pats don't rate any skill positions this draft it would seem.

In truth, that's sort of the story of the draft. It's not like 10 WRs went in the first round or anything.

 

[headcase]

Ok, 5 picks to go

I figured they'd take a stab at a TE at least, instead of triple-dipping OL in the 4th round.

Here's the thing though, you kind of can only get a TE you can stash on the PS at this point. Patriots already have 3 vets at the position now, and they'll all be on the team.

Lazar thinks a punter will be taken in the 5th.

I mean, god knows we fucking need one.

Is Sokol rated highly? I figured he was camp fodder at best.

No, but I think the last 4 picks were all at the Senior Bowl.
