Dan said they might not be done with the OL.  Hint: we will be looking at Center at some point.  I would guess round 4 or 5 ;

Addressing Center is a must.

[Jackie Lee]

Nope Pats go OT with Lomu

[MrBubba]

Last tackle gone lomu

[TD alt]

We made an absolutely good decision tonight. In our situation,  I'm taking Freeling every time over Thieneman.

[45catfan]

Lomu to the Pats. He'll be protecting Drake Maye.  Sweet spot for him.

Well this is getting a rookie contract into the mix. We can part ways with Morton after this year and spread the hit out. 
 

If Bryce flops we’ll need that 1st next year. If if we sign him, we can use the 2027 1st to get a bookend and work on getting Hunt off the books after that. In which case our OL is not expensive at all, or old. 

Yeah but again is any of this urgent this season ? Could this not have been addressed in FA’s or the Draft next year ? 
 

at what point are we expected to see the fruits of all the investments in the o line ? 
 

these are questions I’ll revisit if the offense is still bottom half next year.  Just feels like a lot of meat left on the bone with that pick

If I was a rookie OT I'd rather be with Maye than protecting BY lol

No one who watched the Pats in the playoffs is surprised to see them go OT in the 1st.

It wouldn't be shocking to see Lomu at LT. Will Campbell struggled mightily in the playoffs concluding in an absolute turnstile of a showing in the SB.

I liked lemon over him for this year and BPA, but feeling has rare LT traits. He does allow the rules to be broken given the value....

Hell, they need to take another one tomorrow.
