Patriots killed it

Hate to say it, but the Pats had a great first day. Chandler Jones. Dont'a Hightower. I would have loved have either of those guys wearing blue next season.

Still not sure where Hightower fits for them

Seriously ... I thought that was a weird pick for them.

Out of all of the teams that picked twice in the first not one of them had a great double strike. One pick would be perfect and then the other would kind of leave me scratching my head.

i feel like he's kind of forced to play olb in there 3-4 and de when there in a 4-3, mayo and spikes are purely inside backers in my opinion.

This is my guess.

Base 4-3 = Mayo at WLB, Spikes at MLB, Hightower at SLB

Nickel = Mayo at WLB, Spikes at MLB, Hightower at DE

3-4 Spikes and Mayo inside, Hightower at OLB.

I think the patriots play a lot of 50 front too, and Hightower as the up LB actually fits really well there

i'm sorry, but if you give all your picks after round 2 away you better get good talent

I'm starting to notice a trend in grading picks (not you specifically OP) that teams who grab two players in the 1st round always get praise even if they might of reached for a player like the Bucs did with Barron. Just something I noticed really.

Yep, clearly having two first round picks is better than one, lol.

I dont either. Safety was obviously a need and a bunch of teams loved Barron, so maybe it wasent a reach, but still. Eh. A safety and a HB in the first isnt that overwhelming of a draft
