LT = Nate Solder - 1st (2011)
LG = Joe Thuney - 3rd (2016)
C = David Andrews UDFA (2015)
RG = Shaq Mason - 4th (2015)
RT = Cam Fleming - 4th (2014)
Pretty impressive given the youth of the players and the fact only one was drafted within the first two rounds of a draft.
You don't need all Day 1 and Day 2 picks if you have good coaching.
Joe Thuney is a local kid. Played on my daughter's first soccer team when they were 5...haha.
He was rated as a 5th or 6th rounder. I was telling the Bengals about him and his versatility. Played all spots at NC State, etc. He is also a very smart kid. His father is a Internal Medicine Physician here. I was surprised when the Pats went all the way up to the 3rd to get him, but they obviously knew what they were doing.
