Wasn't suggesting he was the RIGHT punter. Just that agents couldve done exactly what you said and that's they guy they landed on.

We did get 1 UDFA punter. Not sure if Pats would've wanted more or not.

Miami QB D'Eriq King is signing with NE. Likely as a Slot guy. Purdue Edge DaMarcus Mitchell and Houston C Kody Hussey signing with Pats too.

Brugler has Strong as a "capable pass catcher" and has the "potential as a 3rd Down or Committee back". Potential yeah, yet bad pass blocker. Doesn't this assume that NFL coaches have 0 ability to coach a guy up?

Cool man, so instead of having your own opinion and have a sports discussion you’d rather just yell at people who do. “The teams know better, don’t second guess anything”… good add to the discussion. It’s fine if you feel that way, just worthless to a draft discussion. No dude, the thing is that whatever they do, the keyboard warriors criticize everything, regardless. I reserve my critics for later when they underperforme, at least I give them the chance to prove if they are worth of the team that they are going to represent, I'm not a judge to decide what a multi-billion dollar organization does. On top of this, looks like they are adressing a pressuring need for speed and have new people around, so I will wait to judge when is the right time. What this misses, though, is that the draft (and, really, every transaction) is whether or not the decision maker used the assets in an efficient way to maximize their value. What happens later is a separate exercise. Extreme example, if they had taken Brady with a 1st round pick. That's a bad pick. Because they've missed out on the opportunity to get other players AND Brady. What he ends up being is a secondary (not in importance mind you) exercise that has more to do with the player and the coaching staff than it does the GM (sure, they are largely the same person here, even if not in title).

Eventual White replacement? That's what Strong is supposed to be. This guy seems a bit bulkier. Early down guy?

Like to see them get another WR from the list UMass provided. An outside CB prospect? Big NT late (like Ogbonnia or Elliss). RB will likely come and a QB.
TBC some of these likely to come as UDFAs.

After some toughts, I nowunderstand why they pick him in the 1st round. If they belive that he will be a feature in the offensive line in the next few years, picking him up in the 1st round gives them the option of the 5th year, something that would not happen if he was picked after the 1st. I think that was enough input from Scar, for this pick. So BB, again saw far ahead of the competion and draf gurus. I've used that argument before and have been, appropriately, corrected. The value in that option isn't as meaningful for positions near the middle/bottom of the pay scale. A QB? Of course. Pass Rushers, CBs and OTs. Yep. RBs (as I've wanted to believe) and IOLs? Probably not as much.

I'm one that often defends BB and his selections (even the ones that haven't worked out) but this pick clearly shows the impact of having the smaller board (as many reported he has). It probably means you're more likely to get obsessed with a guy and do things like this.
From a player standpoint, he might be spot on and we'll end up loving Strange. But there is an opportunity cost for taking him where he did.
As suggested above, maybe Strange ends up like Thuney/Mankins and we still can get 3-4 more solid-to-better contributors throughout the rest of the draft. If so, we'll (mostly) forget about where they took him (but not entirely).

All the value gained with the trade was given back by taking him so high. Gah.

Remember being relieved that NE wasn't going to take a Guard when Johnson/Green were drafted?

Could still see NE trading out of 1st rd. As Jeff Howe opines, a team could look to move up and get a 5th yr option on a QB (if Willis, for example, is still there).
