00:00Gasper, the draft grades are in for the Patriots and Caleb Lomu, Phil Perry, Alex Barth, among others.
00:07The consensus seems to be A-minus, B-plus, B-plus, A-minus, A, A-minus.
00:11Those are the consensus draft grades. I gave it an F. What do you give it?
00:16Wait, you gave it an F? Why did you give it an F?
00:19Because someone has to.
00:20Okay.
00:23And I have just as much chance as being right as Phil Perry with the A-minus.
00:27And I can, I'll give you my case for why it's an F, but trust me, it's a 50-50
00:31call either way.
00:32He could be right, I could be right, but I'm just going to go with F for the time being.
00:37Okay, no, I agree on the 50-50 part of it.
00:39I would give it a B, a straight B.
00:43And the reason I give it a straight B is because I don't think he can help you this year.
00:48And if he is playing for you this year, then something's gone wrong.
00:51That means that the Will Campbell pick didn't work out the way you thought, and he can't hold down left
00:57tackle.
00:57So Lomu has to do it.
00:58So that's two years in a row with a rookie left tackle.
01:01It means something happened with Morgan Moses.
01:03He got hurt or he retired.
01:06That's not great.
01:07Or it means something happened to Elijah Vera Tucker, and you had to either shift your offensive line or play
01:12this kid potentially out of position at guard.
01:14And I know Elliott Wolfe said last night they think that's a possibility for him that he could play guard.
01:19But I look at the pick, and I understand why they made it.
01:23But a lot of people, I think, were connecting two things that make sense but don't actually add up.
01:31In other words, the Patriots really struggled against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl and, honestly, the playoffs overall in
01:36pass protection.
01:37As you guys remember, Drake May set the NFL record for most sacks taken in a postseason with 21.
01:42And it's like, okay, so now you have to draft an offensive lineman.
01:46Yeah, I get that.
01:48But the way, the position he plays and the way that they've situated him, he's not situated to help them
01:54this year.
