That Strange Pick by the Patriots

[Pass2Run]

Strange had a really high RAS, only one I've seen higher than Tyler Smith's in this draft.

Pretty sure we nailed our pick. The Patriots pick after us is a good indication, in my opinion.

Both linemen are kind of raw, but both have good measurables that can be coached. Both have position flex, so it's almost like having 2 players.

Also, Tyler Smith grades as a 9.62, at left guard.

The Pats are terrible at drafting. Always have been.

Strange was reportedly the Rams top target at pick #104.

It makes sense for the Rams because they're a top Zone Run Blocking team.

It is odd for the Patriots because they've been one of the few teams that didn't really use much Zone Run Blocking.
- I didn't really focus on the Pats in 2021, but as of 2020 they were still a man-blocking team.

Strange looked much better at the Senior Bowl then Zion Jones, for whatever that's worth

What was he at OT? 86?

They're really terrible at drafting receivers. They're not terrible at all positions.
