You're obviously missing a lot. .

There's a surprise..

They drafted two TE's last season. How did that turn out for them?

Great.. They were magnificent. Especially as they were exiting an embarrassing first round playoffs loss after finishing with the league's best record because they have only 1 receiver that's worth a damn and nobody who could get to the QB.

What does that have to do with their draft so far ?

I love the post and feel the same way but I'm not about to judge the Patriots for doing anything.

If there is any team who can walk into a pile of crap and have it transform in Alligator skin boots it's the Patriots.

 

[mmillman]

can't agree with you manster. New England is brilliant in that they continually trade a second for a first next year. That should be figured in your evaluation. One of these times it will be a very high first that a team like New England won't normally see.

they draft well, think long term and have a philosophy that works. Dallas seems all over the place when they draft. Carter might prove me wrong because it does seem they were thinking longer term.

Yeah they keep stockpiling draft picks- but never seem to really use them. What are they waiting for? Just getting more picks means nothing if you do not use them to get top players.

Or people like the Emperor's new clothes.

Maybe I'm just jealous that the Cowboys don't have those picks.


Anybody catch what Mayock and Butch Davis had to say about Bruce Carter on the NFL Network ?

That should shut some people up, I'd think..

So you didn't criticize them for drafting two RB's? My bad.

Did you wash your hand and sock before you started typing today ? Bet that keyboard is extra sticky by now.. Go back inside Cunningham backside and stay there. You're out of your element.

You would know the in and outs of being up a backside wouldn't you. Afterall, you're typing this comfortably inside Roy Williams' as we speak.

I think Shane Vareen will be the most productive rb to come out of Cal since Tedford took over. I can only imagine the numbers he would jab out up had Cal had a QB.

I like Vareen, but I still think Jahvid Best will be a more productive back. The kid had debilitating toe injuries on both feet which severly hampered him last year. If healthy, he's legit.

I love what the Pats did in this draft. They got their starting RB for a while(which ever 1 works out), they future LT, a possible starting CB from day 1, a QB who was arguably the 3rd or 4th best in this draft class, and now a possible starting OG in Cannon if his helth checks out in 2 years or so. Plus a 1st and 2nd round pick next year.

Honestly thought this was the best draft this year by any team. This is why I was advocating trading back.

Perhaps you need clarification. I'll make it simpler:

What do their draft from last year have to do with their draft this year ?

oohh, the horror.. somebody please, stop the pain..

Apparently Cunningham had a colon cleansing and you took a 5 minutes break . Times up, go back inside your favorite orifice.

Lol, Goose Gosselin just said the Patriots draft jump off the page to him and that he loved ther draft when asked whose draft impressed him.

What do ye say shipping and receiving clerk, RandyWhite?

Goose would love it even if the Patriots pick human waste, or something lesser like you.

Run along now. Randall is about to flatulate and your nose is needed for testing..

Their defense is a major problem. I am not understanding their draft this year at all and neither is my friend who is an obnoxiously huge Pats fan.

So when they lose 55-45 in the playoffs, maybe they will get it. The Pats are not free of criticism. I don't think they have done a particularly stellar job with all those picks they had.

Agree with Hos, Browns have done a much better job.

Carry on ...

don't they get Ty Warren back next year?

 

[jimmy40]

That is really what a lot of people admire. But you look over the last 5-6 years just what have they come up with?

a trip to the Super Bowl, great winning percentage and 14-2 last year?

 

[playmakers]

I agree here. They have picks 17-28-33 and I believe their own 2nd. You have to go for it at some point. You can't keep milking draft picks for layaway every year. The Patriots are NOT the best team in the league anymore nor are they tops in their conference. They are close however. This begs the question do you want to be really good for a long time(11-5, a playoff win or two) or win a few more Superbowl's and bow out.

I would had called Buffalo and offered 17-33- and their own 2nd for the 3rd pick. NE needs a big WR and Aj Green fits that. I think thats fair because the Falcons gave up 27 I beileve this year, next years pick say 27th again and their 2nd among others to move up 21 spots instead of 14. Then you still have 28 and you could of pulled a Gabe Cabrini.

I personally think NE is a lucky team who got lucky with the method of drafting. Now, it will bite them in the butt. The NFL draft is like a lottery the more you move the better odds you have of messing up imo.
