SOrry just got in the action after work, what did we get from the patriots in return?

1) We pass on top tier OT.
2) We trade down in Rd 2, when we could have had a high end tier 2 OT.
3) We take a project guy who is poor on technique and we want to shift positions.

So, we failed to add a starter on the OL.

Epic fail. Again.

Burrow hurt again dead by week 9.

Fixed it for ya!

Cool. Lets get Meinerz or Spencer Brown or Kendrick Green and I love this Draft.

Carman is gonna open up some holes for Mixon who is the one winning this Draft right now.

pinch. About as good of a pick as we could make, much more pro ready than Meinerz and the injury is being overstated by haters.

He is fine. Just what we needed in the 2nd or 3rd round. Wanted him in the 3rd but we added a couple picks...

I hope he turns out to be our #1 starting G for the next 10 years. I agree about wanting him in the 3rd but if he is who they think fits best, it is what it is. Was definitely not expecting the trade or the pick. But G is a big big need and we got a big big G now lol.

Been that way since the old enquirer boards. A few different names but the same ignorant opinions.

Back injuries never fully heal this will linger his entire life.

Sample was taken several rounds too early. Carman maybe went about 10-15 picks earlier than projected. Not even close to the same.

But so many people on the internet claim they are getting paid to play a game.  It's like people are full of crap sometimes.

I know its hard to believe but scouts aren't perfect. We will see next year.. 

I think he projects well at guard. Good enough to protect the #1 pick the last two years. Hard to see him not finding a spot on our line.

Am I the only one who read that as "You better grab my wiener now?"

Think we draft a K in 4th.

Good, happy I made you feel better. Some are making up nonsense to hate on the pick when he has been on my mind for
awhile for us. Pro ready playing against the best of the SEC as an OT which is not his natural position. Still played good even
then.

Tier 3

And yes, I think they swung and missed, but only time will tell.  At least they addressed the position.

By that logic Sewell would have gotten Sewell hurt by week 9 too.

Except for the trade down

And open holes for one of the best running games in college football.
