Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season: Free Agency, Draft Part II

Welp let's hope they're better at WR evaluation than the old regime.

 

[EverettMike]

Mitchell still there let's go.

Polk was a beast at Washington as the #2. WR coach is familiar with him. I thought he would probably be more towards the end of round 2 myself. Good player and will contribute immediately though. Can play both inside and outside, probably better on the inside

 

[EverettMike]

"lacks high end speed"

"Ceiling might be a #2"

I've heard of him...that's always a W for me

 

[Mione134]

I definitely didn't see that pick coming.

 

[EverettMike]

Passed on much better prospects.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Feels like a reach.

The prototypical Patriots WR!

Passed on much better prospects.

Where was this guy expected to go

How do you know a 2nd round WR will contribute immediately?

I would have rather drafted Cooper Dejean and hoped Polk or a similar WR were there in the 3rd. I just think the upside of a Starting CB is hard to pass up. I'm wrong a lot too but Polk seems similar to what we have. Hope I'm wrong though...

I just don't trust this organization to draft WR's. It never works out. Malcolm Mitchell did for a short time, but his injury history clearly caught up to him.

I hope he works out for us.

I like Polk. Fearless going over the middle and catches everything. Probably the best hands of any receiver in the draft. He’s a #2 receiver in my opinion. And I’m curious to see if he can stick at the X full time but he is a solid receiver. I think the compete level and the diabetes of Mitchell is what is pushing him down boards.

And the Kansas City Chiefs select AD Mitchell
