And that's your right but if 1 get a 8 to 10 year above average starter at 27 I am all in.Yeah, I disagree.

Can't find fault with that logic except Ken Norton was slow to develop. Landry considered him too stupid in terms of football intelligence to play MLB in his defense. (Landry's scheme required the MLB to be the defensive QB and have the most complex reads).Both of those guys were worthy of the 27th picked in the draft, I would love to have either at 27 this year.
I'm not. First round picks are where you are trying to find elite. Like Frederick is an elite center. Martin is an elite guard.And that's your right but if 1 get a 8 to 10 year above average starter at 27 I am all in.
no one thought Frederick was elite on draft day, no one even thought he was a first rounder. He was exactly a for need reach.I'm not. First round picks are where you are trying to find elite. Like Frederick is an elite center. Martin is an elite guard.
I know it's at the end of the first round. But I'm not settling for above average.

Same.I thought he was an elite center prospect on draft day.
Point is you're not shooting for a long term average starter in the first round. That's silly. You want elite talent with a first round pick. Generally you're looking for a franchise type player.I didn't think Frederick was an elite mid first round talent, I had him as an early second. I would have considered getting him at 47 a steal and an "A" pick in the second.
Getting him at the end of the first was fine since it was clear the team did their homework but it was an unexpected first round selection to say the least, which can only mean he didn't have a consensus first round grade prior to that point.
Same situation with a guy like Logan Mankins though. Was not a first round pick on most publications, probably in part due to undervaluing him for his position, Pats identified an undervalued asset and struck gold.
Same thing with Frederick and the team should be commended but I don't want to go so far as to say I know before the draft that Frederick was gonna be a player we should be wanting at 27.
You're shooting for the best player you can get. Sometimes, like this year, lt may not be possible to get an elite player at 27.Point is you're not shooting for a long term average starter in the first round. That's silly.

Wrong. You might not get what you call an elite prospect, but there will be an elite player their at 27. I can promise you that someone who goes in this draft after pick 27 will be an elite player in the NFL. You just need to scout them right.You're shooting for the best player you can get.

I think he meant elite as far as anyone could possibly tell pre-draft.Wrong. You might not get what you call an elite prospect, but there will be an elite player their at 27.

I'm sure I could look back and find a draft somewhere where no elite players were drafted within a round or two after the 27th pick.Wrong.

Pretty sure we could still get a 2nd rounder for Dex.Pretty sure Ken and Dexter are too old to play now.
Of course not. If the Pats had properly scouted Brady, they would have taken him in Round 1.I'm sure I could look back and find a draft somewhere where no elite players were drafted within a round or two after the 27th pick.
Sure there might be a Tom Brady taken in the 6th round but I don't count that.
Not me, but I got lambasted for thinking a "4th round" C was a good pick there.I call all of the bullshit. Everyone, everyone, everyone including Frederick himself thought he was a little bit of a reach in the first round. There had been a historic run on linemen and we did the right thing by drafting Frederick but nobody saw him as BPA.
