My favorite thing is people calling someone that runs 4.5 slow 😂 most people saying this couldnt even run a 5.0. And people act like a 40 yard is the same as playing in game speed. Anyone that has played ball understands the difference. Give this man a chance he hasnt even played a down yet 😂
This kid is gonna amaze a lot of NE fans. Polk the defense in the face all the way down the field. I see him as a possession receiver with great yak capability in the NFL. Don't sleep on Polk, he is a DOG!
The fact these casual ass Patriots fans complaining about Polk is a number 2 while in the same breath complaining about skipping McConkey, who is also a number 2 is hilarious 😂😂
My NFL comp for Polk is Davante Adams - very similar size and athletic profile, with Polk actually being a bit faster and significantly more explosive in the 40 than Adams. The first time I watched Polk run his routes, Adams jumped in my mind as a comp - neither of them is a burner and they don't create separation thru sheer speed but rather thru sudden change in direction. One can sort of see the Packers connection in the evaluation of Polk as a prospect. We can nitpick if Polk would have been available later in the 2nd round but he is a good player, who came in a bit underrated in this draft class, imo.
@@MrJoeljoyOh, you mean a freshly-drafted rookie doesn't have the route tree and level of development of a 10-year NFL vet? Wow, you must be a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon or something ...
@@milanmilanov348 In that case he can develop into a Jerry rice. Learn how pro comps are done in the first place. It's based on current talent evolution and no projections.
@@MrJoeljoyThe Pro comp is to give you the ceiling for a rookie should his development follow a virually perfect route i.e. the comp is to give you an idea about the ceiling for that rookie at the NFL level. What sense does it make to compare a rookie to a NFL vet who busted out and never reached his potential or just someone who never had the skills and potential to be anything but a depth player, to begin with? Davante Adams didn't become a top WR until several years into his NFL career - basically until Nelson was still there, Adams was at best an extra. P.S. Just rewatched the other night the Falcons vs Packers play-off game from the end of the 2016 season. Nelso was playing with busted ribs and was even then the focal point of that passing offense. Adams wasn't even a silent hick-up until the game had gotten out of hand. That was Adams' 3rd year as an NFL player.
Y'all want Tee Higgins and he's never been a GREAT #1, and y'all wanna trade for him and PAY him for what he's never been? We just got a potential X receiver at 22 years old on a rookie contract. He is versatile and has the MOST talent in the WR room, immediately. He is an elite pass catcher in college. Nobody on our roster catches as well as he does. Also, he's proven to be the 2nd best receiver on one of the better offenses for a finalist of the CFP. Had over 1000 yards and 9 TDs UNDER Adunze. His production, for where he was on the depth chart, is dumb. Also, quit acting like some of the BEST receivers in the NFL don't run 4.5 40s. He has the highest athletic grade of ANY WR we have. He is every bit of an upgrade.
BB pointed to Drake not wanting to throw when receivers don't have separation. Now they draft someone that doesn't create separation. Not sure how this will work.
Drake can anticipate really well over the middle of the field. But throwing guys open down the sideline like Joe burrow doesn’t seem like something he does a lot.
What I find funny is how everyone seems to know everything. Was anyone excited when they drafted Brady? Hell Hill was drafted in the 5th round. No one knows how any player works out. Speed is great but so does durability, smarts etc. Let things play out then you can lose your minds.
everyone is saying that he's not a " first round guy", but at #37 that is basically still the first round. why not draft a bona-fide #1 quality O lineman? seems to me that Ja'lynn is a good #3-5 round player. slightly disappointed with this pick.
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone! 😂 For 20 years, we unanimously agreed that Tom Brady made players. For 20 years, Tom Brady "had no weapons". Now all the sudden, we don't have this all pro QB, we have a decent receiver room?? We have TEN WR3's. Bourne is great but he's a 2 at best. Poor Douglas could be a great slot but he's so undersized he may never play more than 10 games his whole career and he's sure as hell not a WR2. Juju at best is a good slot but unless he gets some effort back in him, he's gonna go out in week 4 with turf toe and collect a check! Hakeem Nicks was a similar player to Polk imo. Strong hands, really solid catcher and went at the end of the 1st. Unless you can run a route, you're in trouble. Henry is a decent TE but Hooper is less than that and we still need a 3rd guy to make it through the season. Same situation at RB, great starter but no depth. I'm a big fan of Brissett, I wanted to keep him over Jimmy Glass but he's not Brady and he's not going to elevate these guys beyond what they were 2 years ago. They need to shell out for an x receiver or they're sub 6 wins this year without a doubt in my mind (christ I hope I'm wrong). Really 7 or 8 of these guys would be great any established offense but here they're wasted. That's not even getting into the o line. Also those Packers receivers had Aaron Rodgers! Adams in LV with Jimmy Glass was terrible! 😂
That’s even worse to draft him that high I’m pretty sure we can get him with the 4 or 5 in mind 2 receiver but we not drafting for number 1 Wr we can get that next year css our team not better so we did Good getting our Qb nd Wr 2 next year Wr 1 oline 2nd then we heading in the right direction if we got a Wr 1 ts year we not getting a Good young Qb
@@jermainerodgers but his draft stock was late first round to second I mean I see why patriots grab him then man everyone need weapons too specially when Keon Coleman off the board
The only thing I can hope for is the following: 1. They bit the bullet on JuJu Smith-Schuster and eat his salary (he and we need a clean slate). 2. They make a trade for a true #1 X WR (my hope is Tee Higgins: he is tall and has not been able to X in Bengals offense with Chase). We need to add salary to meet minimum salary cap requirements. Look for a future security move to use this cap space also (Barmore long term agreement incoming).
Harry was not competitive like this guy. He attacks the ball. I agree he might struggle in man to man due to the speed, but on the same line of thinking he should do very well in zones with his solid consistent routes, his great hands and willingness to fight for the ball. You can get someone else with speed. You will still need a solid tough possession guy like this.
Polk can definitely separate. His release package from the line is excellent and has tremendously quick feet. Great route runner. Separation isn’t his game, but he can separate far better than nkeal Harry ever could. Also his catch radius is actually unreal. Lowest drop rate in college football too
When you suck at your job yes, but if they could actually draft and spend some damn money it wouldn’t have to take that long. Or idk trade for a damn WR
Great not a number 1 projection when there were Wr1 potential guys available. Just what we need a “solid” which means average-good ceiling guy at best. This was honestly a waste of a top 2 pick if you are going for need and not major difference maker
The #1 guys got scooped up. We tried trading up and couldn't. I don't love the picks at 2 or 3 or later even. But the guys we wanted got scooped up late 1st early 2nd.
Only way we walked out with another home run was trading for Higgins or one of the 49ers wrs other then that it's all guessing other then the top 3 or 4 in this draft
Could not agree more with the logic of he could not separate in college... How the heck is he in the NFL. Please don't try to Gaslight us Boston sports media.
Trust, Polk is the better pick. Mitchell worries me with his attitude and emotions...plus he's not that polished. Polk is a dog who has great hands, great ball tracking, loves going over the middle and invites contact. Excellent at 50/50 balls, rarely losing on them. Do you know who throws a great 50/50 ball?? Drake Maye...
Yeah but Mitchell has WR 1 potential Pole does not. Waste of top 2 pick. Doesn’t help this WR room but just adds depth. Would have been better trading further down get picks and get a OT. They reached for this guy. Could have taken Ladd who was better. This FO is a F’n joke when it comes to drafting WRs. These are the same dudes that drafted under Bill and they must scout the same as they did under Bill.
@@Noname33336I think the true WR1 comes from either a trade or the 1st round pick next season. I guess Polk was 8th in long ball receptions last season and Maye was 2nd on long balls thrown last season. Seems they chose a guy with good hands and height for deep throws to pair with Maye
He said we would of had 2 first round picks next year but one was already ours so they was only giving 2 this yr and 1 next yr and wanted to switch picks this yr so they was trying to fleece us😮
Yeah another WR 2-3 to add to a WR room full of Wr 2,3,4. We trade when we could take Ladd with WR 1 potential for an Average-good ceiling guy. Waste of a top second pick. This offense didn’t get better with this pick. Get ready for a top 10 pick next year
Ja'Lynn Polk is a 425ft homerun. Now 86 Thorton and Ju Ju then replace with Brendon Rice and Bub Means. The problem is with the 70% of idiot pole taking Pat fans that think the Polk pick has a C or worse grade.
I think this is a B pick rather than an A or a C ... Hes more of a contested catch deep guy and he was probably the best of what was left in the draft...they must have had intel that he was gonna end up going soon otherwise am sure they would have traded back again...people are complaining that he aint a WR1 for Maye but its unlikely that Maye will be starting this year so wait till next year and take a WR1 with your first round pick...
Man stfu you can’t get all what you won’t in the the first rebuild we can get a number 1 receiver first round nd oline second if we suck we just building we know he not number 1 but he here for our rebuild dumb asses ts why yawl not Gm
If I was the pats GM we would have drafted AJ brown Amon ra st brown and many other impact players along the line I had us trading up for Sam Laporta in early round 2 last year. I’m not mad at the Polk pick but the tackle seems like a reach to me we could have picked a solid tackle in beginning of round 2 then traded up for Polk In Late round 2 that tackle pick seemed like a Bill pick to me WTF hope he works out looks to slow to me for a LT in NFL
Unfortunately I wanted MITCHELL but if turns out good then great but we do need a #1 honestly, everyone can’t play the same role because they won’t grow at all
We gave away McConkey at 34 to grab another "dawg" who will compete for "jump balls", "strong hands", and good for the "culture". This team will pick in the top 5 again next year only to repeat this inability to ever draft a true wr1 so say hello to Tyquon Thornton 2 and more years of 1 pm game times. It's just draft insanity
Good pick because this is what Drake Maye is used to. Drake Maye played with a bad receiving corp at UNC that never got separation. Plus he's gotta learn to throw into tight windows so the Pats don't want to draft an athlete that could give him some wide-open throws.
If the bills didn't take mitchell dont bitch about the pats not taking him clearly there is a reason hes slipping i like polk he has the potential to be a thousand yard receiver he already proved that great pick hes a guy i wanted in the 2nd. Texas staff already told teams that Mitchell is arrogant and is hard to coach and goes rogue im games
He’s a severe diabetic and if his blood sugar levels arnt perfect he has bad mood swings. So any team that picks him will have a huge responsibility of keeping his blood sugar levels right
That’s what people said about DK and AJ brown how has that worked out. That’s what we said when we drafted Thorton instead of Pickens WHOS ACTUALLY GOOD. Stop making excuses for them passing on better players.
@jayy88 that's wat his college coaches r saying idc either way it's funny how he only put up less then 900 receiving yards last year but Polk puts up 1159 with 4 100+ games all behind Rome but yall bitching about us passing on mitchell who put WR2 stats lmao 🤣 do ur homework and AB didn't win a superbowl till the end of his career and aj still aint got one lol so yea Karma does bite u in the ass no matter wat lol
We dont need an X right now. We need an X when our qb is ready to go i like the move. Build o line and Wr depth build it again next year and when our guy is ready then we can trade to get a star or hit next years FA market with the cap we got left
Well now we really need to go for a real WR1 it is absurd how this team keeps getting unathletic/SLOW WR when everyone has a burner who can CATCH and make plays
Stop with that !!! They tried to land Ridley...offered him a contract that in my honest opinion, was over priced for the player. Not to mention, Ridley DID NOT WANT TO COME TO THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!!!!!!! How is that Kraft being cheap ?!? Ignorance is strong with alot of Fans and certain media outlets......
@@scottv9479I thought it was overpriced to then all the other contractors just got signed and now realize that’s just the market. They could have got Hollywood Brown. Pathetic that KC got 2 better WRs than us this year 1 in free agency and 1 in the draft.
I glad we got Polk we building rmb I’m pretty sure if we suck next year Wr 1 then Oline second rd so now we have Polk 2# Wr 1 A better Oline nd Oline for last year draft and a new Qb then you heading in a new direction yawl so slow we not drafting to be good rn we building to be good year 2 too year 3
I’m telling you, this team has the *_potential _* to: compete for the East, finish the regular season with a respectable record and should all go well with the staff reaching the hearts and minds of these young kids, they can make the postseason. This team has improved and they were a touchdown or less away Deion so many came they could have easily finished 12-5/13-3. With that shitty season…
IMO this off-season has been basically garbage. Unless Maye is a complete stud we are screwed. We had all that money and high picks and so far the freaking Super Bowl winning KC chiefs with worse picks and less money have had a better offseason. Make that make sense. Someone show me how with all that damn money and 3 picks in the top 60 this team is any freaking better. Pathetic.
Thornton never got play time or reps because the patriots wanted to waste time on juju and the always hurt and slow Parker Juju sucks and needs to go. Give Thornton the play time
Yeah, ok, nice receiver. But who the fuck is going to protect the quarterback? They HAVE RECEIVERS. This was a trendy, STUPID pick. Left Tackle was the only pick to make there. You heard Phil, "he's not a number one receiver"... Great. Now they have ten depth wr, no number one, and no LT.
We are grabbing O Line with pick #68 of the 3rd round. Could see them grabbing DeVontez Walker, Mayes go to WR last year in Chapel Hill with one of our 4th round picks too
@@scottv9479 hope so but doubt it!twalker is miles better.they could have traded down again for an extra 2nd or 3rd if i know thay were going to fuck up this bad.same ol' patriots in drafting but they were smart by taking maye,the best quarterback so i guess we'll see!
@@DarrinBrookins-ot3ldyes because teams “like the patriots” overthink stuff. Which is why Lamar fell and rodgers and Brady and DK Metkalf and AJ Brown. Which is why Cole Strange went in the 1st round and Sony Michell. Just because these people work in front offices doesn’t mean they know wtf they’re doing. Young went before CJ, Puka Nacua didn’t go until the 5th round Cooper Kupp was 3rd round Tyreek Hill 6th round. Front offices miss all the time which is why they get fired.
Hate the pick. He’ll never get separation and won’t be in the league in 3 yrs. When AD Mitchell and his diabetes are lighting it up and this guy is fighting for a spot on the 53 man roster remember this pick.
Polk was a moron pick. We could have had Mitchell or McConkey. We dont need a sliw slot receiver that wasnt even the best wideout on his team.then he drafted a TE that cant block.500yrds is his career high
If you wanna know what type of wr we got put on the tape he's Brandon Aiyuk!! great hands, tough down field, ball focus...sure his speed isn't there but put him with juju Bourne Douglas kj Thornton!! So it's enough give maye some running lanes or beat linebackers across the middle!!! Think we still need another wr or running back...FA you can get lineman!!!
And he doesn't drop. His drop/catch ratio is amazing! 8 drops in four years of College.
Also
Polk- 8th in long ball receptions last season
Maye- 2nd in long balls thrown last season
They're building around the talents of their guy
N'keal Harry was highly regarded too coming out of college. It all means nothing until Sunday comes around

I’m optimistic about him. Not sure if he’ll be a star but I think we will be very happy with him for years to come.
@@Noname33336Ladd is not a number 1 receiver jfc
Ja'Lynn Polk is a 425ft homerun. Now 86 Thorton and Ju Ju then replace with Brendon Rice and Bub Means. The problem is with the 70% of idiot pole taking Pat fans that think the Polk pick has a C or worse grade.
He’s replacing Parker , he has a Bourne mentality, we gonna be very surprisingly good
So they’ll be good enough if they have gronk? Unfortunately we don’t have gronk so I guess they aren’t good enough
Absolutely FAILED day 2. I went from hopeful and happy to discouraged,confused and pissed off in 24 hrs. Looks like a 5 yr plan now. Wtf
I had burritos for dinner 😎
Polk had more production than Mitchell on a team stacked at receiver.
hope he is like steve smith,
Steve Smith ran a 4.3 This guy is Harry... big and slow.
Steve Smith has a video breaking down tape on Polk and he loves the kid
I think this is a B pick rather than an A or a C ... Hes more of a contested catch deep guy and he was probably the best of what was left in the draft...they must have had intel that he was gonna end up going soon otherwise am sure they would have traded back again...people are complaining that he aint a WR1 for Maye but its unlikely that Maye will be starting this year so wait till next year and take a WR1 with your first round pick...
40 times can be overrated. There are multitudes of great receivers past and present with 40 times the same or slower than Polk.
Great day 2!
A 3rd round wr in the 2nd and a 5th round tackle in the 3rd.
What a joke.
Man stfu you can’t get all what you won’t in the the first rebuild we can get a number 1 receiver first round nd oline second if we suck we just building we know he not number 1 but he here for our rebuild dumb asses ts why yawl not Gm
Preach a 24 year old back up RT what a JOKE
That's why I'm done with this team lol. I've had enough
If I was the pats GM we would have drafted AJ brown Amon ra st brown and many other impact players along the line I had us trading up for Sam Laporta in early round 2 last year. I’m not mad at the Polk pick but the tackle seems like a reach to me we could have picked a solid tackle in beginning of round 2 then traded up for Polk In Late round 2 that tackle pick seemed like a Bill pick to me WTF hope he works out looks to slow to me for a LT in NFL
Damn I love that pic. Polk is so good
nope.
He’s really not though followed by a 24 year old backups tackle what a horrible draft. Unless Maye is Josh Allen we’re screwed
I understand we have always had a bunch of number 2 and 3 wr but we could do that we had Tom Brady. Get Drake Maye a number 1!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I wanted MITCHELL but if turns out good then great but we do need a #1 honestly, everyone can’t play the same role because they won’t grow at all
We are excited about drafting the 3rd receiver on a college team?
He was arguably the best
@@youtubeconnollyfamilybetter than Odunze 😂 you sound crazy
They all had over 1000 yards receiving last year.. arguably the best offense in the nation
Jalen Dabore said he was the leader in the locker room not Rome he is an alpha dog
Calen
Another JAG WR when we have no offensive line.
We gave away McConkey at 34 to grab another "dawg" who will compete for "jump balls", "strong hands", and good for the "culture". This team will pick in the top 5 again next year only to repeat this inability to ever draft a true wr1 so say hello to Tyquon Thornton 2 and more years of 1 pm game times. It's just draft insanity
Good pick because this is what Drake Maye is used to. Drake Maye played with a bad receiving corp at UNC that never got separation. Plus he's gotta learn to throw into tight windows so the Pats don't want to draft an athlete that could give him some wide-open throws.
Ahh yes! My god, it all makes SO MUCH SENSE NOW!!! 🙄🤦♂️🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
We’re spending more than 10 seconds talking about Tyquan Thornton? What r we doin here fellas?
Sad, we were fooled two straight yrs....can't sign up on that train
i really like stevenson but no way are the patriots paying him. they never pay rb's :(
If the bills didn't take mitchell dont bitch about the pats not taking him clearly there is a reason hes slipping i like polk he has the potential to be a thousand yard receiver he already proved that great pick hes a guy i wanted in the 2nd. Texas staff already told teams that Mitchell is arrogant and is hard to coach and goes rogue im games
Yeah for sure. The league knows something about him that we don’t
He’s a severe diabetic and if his blood sugar levels arnt perfect he has bad mood swings. So any team that picks him will have a huge responsibility of keeping his blood sugar levels right
That’s what people said about DK and AJ brown how has that worked out. That’s what we said when we drafted Thorton instead of Pickens WHOS ACTUALLY GOOD. Stop making excuses for them passing on better players.
@@Sasha-vb3mh”the league” gets it wrong all the time see Puka Nacua.
@jayy88 that's wat his college coaches r saying idc either way it's funny how he only put up less then 900 receiving yards last year but Polk puts up 1159 with 4 100+ games all behind Rome but yall bitching about us passing on mitchell who put WR2 stats lmao 🤣 do ur homework and AB didn't win a superbowl till the end of his career and aj still aint got one lol so yea Karma does bite u in the ass no matter wat lol
😂 leave it to Tom to bring up Mac. Move on 😂
first big mistake-huge slow reach!another devante parker!
You cant get polk open deap against nfl corners.definiely not deep down the sideline
We dont need an X right now. We need an X when our qb is ready to go i like the move. Build o line and Wr depth build it again next year and when our guy is ready then we can trade to get a star or hit next years FA market with the cap we got left
Yadyadayadayada 🙄
Well now we really need to go for a real WR1 it is absurd how this team keeps getting unathletic/SLOW WR when everyone has a burner who can CATCH and make plays
3rd round talent at top of 2nd rnd, Patriots have become a bad joke without Brady to save them. Sad.
What sucks is miser Kraft holding back 50 million in cap. He’s an ass
Stop with that !!! They tried to land Ridley...offered him a contract that in my honest opinion, was over priced for the player. Not to mention, Ridley DID NOT WANT TO COME TO THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!!!!!!! How is that Kraft being cheap ?!? Ignorance is strong with alot of Fans and certain media outlets......
I love all you clueless morons.
@@scottv9479I thought it was overpriced to then all the other contractors just got signed and now realize that’s just the market. They could have got Hollywood Brown. Pathetic that KC got 2 better WRs than us this year 1 in free agency and 1 in the draft.
Well Israel needs it’s money
REACH
I glad we got Polk we building rmb I’m pretty sure if we suck next year Wr 1 then Oline second rd so now we have Polk 2# Wr 1 A better Oline nd Oline for last year draft and a new Qb then you heading in a new direction yawl so slow we not drafting to be good rn we building to be good year 2 too year 3
Amari Cooper comp?
Lets get drakes homie tez walker to fill out wide receiver
If BB drafted this guy they'd be crucifying him right now.
The negative patriot fans are beyond cringe. Tired of being associated with these clowns
Thornton will be cut before training camp is over
I’m telling you, this team has the *_potential _* to: compete for the East, finish the regular season with a respectable record and should all go well with the staff reaching the hearts and minds of these young kids, they can make the postseason.
This team has improved and they were a touchdown or less away Deion so many came they could have easily finished 12-5/13-3. With that shitty season…
Sorry Zackary disagree, a little to pie in the sky. But like your positive reach.
He’s literally Jakobi meyers.. we need a burner.. Thorton ain’t it.. Troy Franklin would have been better..
Why 37 and not 34? How talented is he?
Juju, bourne, pop douglas, ja lynn polk. Actually looks good. Get 1 more #1 wr n we will dominate once maye is ready. Hunter henry. Possible boutte
Ladd McConkey fell to them and they traded out plus didn’t take the best WR available. They’ll regret passing on mccconkey
Why why not ADONAI Mitchelle smh why why smh
Agreed, big guy 6'4 and fast. Patriots just can't pick great WRs
Quits on plays, not even that good, most overrated player of the pre-draft process
He’s a severe Diabetic
^ this
Effort says a lot about someone's character. Adonai gives up on routes he's not the main target. Not a good trait for a coworker
@@daneaton8567I bet you said the same thing about DK
IMO this off-season has been basically garbage. Unless Maye is a complete stud we are screwed. We had all that money and high picks and so far the freaking Super Bowl winning KC chiefs with worse picks and less money have had a better offseason. Make that make sense. Someone show me how with all that damn money and 3 picks in the top 60 this team is any freaking better. Pathetic.
Thornton never got play time or reps because the patriots wanted to waste time on juju and the always hurt and slow Parker
Juju sucks and needs to go.
Give Thornton the play time
Yeah, ok, nice receiver. But who the fuck is going to protect the quarterback? They HAVE RECEIVERS. This was a trendy, STUPID pick. Left Tackle was the only pick to make there. You heard Phil, "he's not a number one receiver"... Great. Now they have ten depth wr, no number one, and no LT.
If they picked a left tackle you would’ve said nice tackle but whose the qb gonna throw too
Shut up. The leftover tackles aren’t valued that high
The tackles left will still be there in the third and fourth round.
We are grabbing O Line with pick #68 of the 3rd round. Could see them grabbing DeVontez Walker, Mayes go to WR last year in Chapel Hill with one of our 4th round picks too
@@scottv9479 hope so but doubt it!twalker is miles better.they could have traded down again for an extra 2nd or 3rd if i know thay were going to fuck up this bad.same ol' patriots in drafting but they were smart by taking maye,the best quarterback so i guess we'll see!
Awesome. Another 2nd tier WR in a room full of low 2nd and low 3rd tier bums. Another loser no one needs to plan for.
Another slow #2 receiver. AD Mitchell sitting there a true X receiver, take a chance. What do I have to loose. Not rocket science. Bad pick.
It's a reason why Mitchell fell so far down the board plus it's more receivers out there.
@@DarrinBrookins-ot3ldyes because teams “like the patriots” overthink stuff. Which is why Lamar fell and rodgers and Brady and DK Metkalf and AJ Brown. Which is why Cole Strange went in the 1st round and Sony Michell. Just because these people work in front offices doesn’t mean they know wtf they’re doing. Young went before CJ, Puka Nacua didn’t go until the 5th round Cooper Kupp was 3rd round Tyreek Hill 6th round. Front offices miss all the time which is why they get fired.
Tyquan Thornton 2.0 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Skill players are terrible they had the kids from Georgia. Perfect it fell. They screwed it up.
Please stop! Thornton is a bust pick.
F? People are so miserable dude
Hate the pick. He’ll never get separation and won’t be in the league in 3 yrs. When AD Mitchell and his diabetes are lighting it up and this guy is fighting for a spot on the 53 man roster remember this pick.
Polk was a moron pick.
We could have had Mitchell or McConkey.
We dont need a sliw slot receiver that wasnt even the best wideout on his team.then he drafted a TE that cant block.500yrds is his career high
If you wanna know what type of wr we got put on the tape he's Brandon Aiyuk!! great hands, tough down field, ball focus...sure his speed isn't there but put him with juju Bourne Douglas kj Thornton!! So it's enough give maye some running lanes or beat linebackers across the middle!!! Think we still need another wr or running back...FA you can get lineman!!!
He does not move like Aiyuk..lol
And then there's this guy. 🙄
What do you expect with a clueless Rookie Head coach who is also the GM.
Kraft don’t wanna pay. Cheap old miser. It’s costing us badly. We always settle. Fck culture we need to win. This isn’t a corporate job
Looks like nkeal harry
I'm embarrassed to be a pats fan. So much whining. Talk about spoiled.
