Gotta be Jones. PFF reporting that it is. 

 

[The Dude]

Don’t a lot of mocks have ne with a wr

 

[opensourcebeer]

Now that's how you wear a mask

 

[QuizGuy66]

THERE IT IS!!!!

[ProstheticRGK]

Newt Gingrich making the pick for NEP?

Food insecurity jokes, just way too easy

 

[-OZ-]

From saban to BB. 

great pick

 

[renesauz]

So pats win by doing nothing.

As usual. Brady and Belichek notwithstanding.....their long-standing policy of moving BACK not UP is a key to sustained success

 

[Dez]

If SF really loved Mac Jones almost to the same level and Lance well they could got him at 12 and saved a couple 1sts.

 

[Boston]

Could not be happier...was exactly who I wanted!

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Jones has to be thrilled.

 

[DocHolliday]

Mac Jones has had a great day.   It was worth the wait. 

 

[renesauz]

Jones a perfect fit for belichek too. Hand meets glove

 

[woodstock]

I honestly don't think Jones is that good. PFF saying he doesn't drive into throws downfield well. Lots of crossing routes and stuff like that. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I honestly don't think Jones is that good. PFF saying he doesn't drive into throws downfield well. Lots of crossing routes and stuff like that. 

And what offense does New England run?

 

[-OZ-]

We'll see.

He'll probably start before any of the others, except maybe Trevor. 

He won't light up the highlight reel but that's not the job in NE.

 

[renesauz]

I honestly don't think Jones is that good. PFF saying he doesn't drive into throws downfield well. Lots of crossing routes and stuff like that. 

Agree...but that's part of why he's a good fit in NE. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It had to be Mac 

 

[HellToupee]

Patriots fans got lucky 

 

[Mister CIA]

This is the best draft in memory.  I'm loving all this.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Dalton comparison by Kurt Warner.  I always though Belichick was gonna get Dalton after he was done with the Bengals tbh so that checks out

-QG

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Horrible pick.  Could have sent NE the 8th for a hot dog and picked him with NE's pick.

Horn was one of the better picks tonight IMHO, he's good. 

 

[The Big Donkey]

NYG at #20 - is Jaelan Philips their guy?

 

[woodstock]

And what offense does New England run?

Lots of slot stuff. I see your point, but it's not going to be Brady to Moss, that's for sure. Brady, despite all narrative to the contrary, developed a cannon. We'll see if Jones has the arm to drive the ball outside the numbers. 

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Gordon Jones' wife. She is beautiful. Is that his mom?

 

[QuizGuy66]

This is a guy who moved up in recent mocks going to the Cardinals, right?

Not a huge cannon, but certainly NFL level arm strength

 

[woodstock]

Zaven Collins to AZ? Gotta wonder what that means for Isaiah Simmons in IDP leagues. 

 

[opensourcebeer]

Gordon Jones' wife. She is beautiful. Is that his mom?

Real question is if that's really his dad's head.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

"Moved up" is relative. He's an amazing LB and athlete and has had a lot of buzz this last year.

 

[woodstock]

Probably so. I'm just not a huge fun is all. But I don't scout these guys or know enough to be an expert. I'm just not sure about this one. Just shooting the breeze. 

 

[The Dude]

LV pick could be interesting.  Could go off the board again this year

 

[barackdhouse]

NYG at #20 - is Jaelan Philips their guy?

Bateman?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Miami is 1 pick away from Kwitty Paye being a potential reality. 

Moerhig would not be the most popular with the fan base but it would be a smart move for Miami. 

Miami will probably take another Bama player tonight, maybe get the RB so Tua can get the gang back together. 

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I thought they shoulda gone OL if not secondary given the players on the board. They just paid Dak a lot. Might be smart to protect him. 

Apparently they went to the Bengals school of OL philosophy. 

They still have a very good line. It’s almost like you have an axe to grind. 

 

[QuizGuy66]

Fair - but mocks aren't realize I know

From that perspective his mock draft stock seemed to move up over time

-QG

People forget that Brady walked into a sports car when Bledsoe went down. That was a solid offense on a competing team.

Jones comes to a Pats team so depleted of receiving options they make Troy “two-way” Brown look elite.

Giants going Ojulari or Paye if there.

Get the Alabama punter in round 6

Yes, going to AZ was kind of a recent thing.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

No, I just think they should have taken an OL.  

Why would I have an axe to grind?  I’m a Niner fan. I have very fond memories of the Bengals. Very very fond. 

 

[renesauz]

Doesn't seem like there have been any real surprises yet tonight

Jones comes to a Pats team so depleted of receiving options they make Troy “two-way” Brown look elite. 

Agholor, Bourne, Jonnu Smith, and Hunter Henry are a big improvement from what they had last year, though. 

Also wouldn't be surprised if they took a receiver later. Class is somewhat deep, according to Waldman and PFF. 

 

[The Dude]

Yep

 

[renesauz]

I spoke 30 seconds too soon I guess. Though not exactly shocker level

 

[QuizGuy66]

Wow earlier than Leatherwood was projected - a number of mocks had him as a guy for my Bengals at #38

Eh. Couple decent TEs & a WR who remembered he had hands for exactly 1 season. And a WR SF couldn’t use? 

Pats offense is trash. 

 

[woodstock]

And there they went off the board, really. But good for him. Let's see if it works out for LV. 

 

[JoeSteeler]

Leatherwood over Darrisaw and Jenkins?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

As a Carr superflex owner I love the pick. 
 

Raiders needed defense though. 

 

[barackdhouse]

I am a Bears fan and I disagree
