There were multiple reports Panthers loved the kid and pats still traded back at 98 knowing panthers had pick 100...lol at thinking the patriots were seriously considering him. 

They was going to pick him at 101. They moved out of spot after we picked him, it was pretty obvious.

If they really wanted him they would’ve just picked him at 98 instead of trading back to pick up a 6th round pick. Clearly valued the 6th more than Grier.

I believe it. My Pats fan friends were legit shocked/pissed when we picked him. They were expecting to get him in the third. Belichick doesn't flinch during the draft, and probably thought we'd draft someone else there like the rest of us did. I doubt he felt he needed to trade up or pick early to beat us out. Besides, Kraft and Brady would have run Grier out of town the way they did Garoppolo, so he was probably not sweating the pick that hard anyway.

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.

      3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
