Those Brilliant Patriots

[Randy White]

came into the draft with 3 major needs:

1) Pass rusher
2) Wide receivers
3) Upgrade O-line depth because they have 2 starters over 30 years old and their best lineman is wearing the franchise tag ( meaning he's not signed to a long term deal yet ).

They came in with 6 picks in the first 3 rounds, 3 in the top 33. There were at least 3 reaches in the draft: Titans ( Locker ), Vikings ( Ponder ), and Seahwaks ( Carpenter ). That meant more talent fell their way. Yet they ended up with a OT who " might " develop into something in the long term, a very nice CB, 2 running backs and 1 QB with their first 4 selection. They passed over an awful lot of talent to end up with that. Yes, I absolutely agree with trading out of the late 1st round for a 1st round next year, and it was a good move, but that's not the issue. They've haven't had any problems doing that in the past few years. Their problem is that, despite those wonderful picks, they're still in the same boat they came in, needing talent at their 3 major weaknesses.

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.

Lol, house of cards is crumbling..."Cowboys good...other teams baaaad"

Gosselin's draft grades: Cowboys get best marks in NFC East
By RICK GOSSELIN / The Dallas Morning News
Published May 1, 2011 12:53 AM

NFC EAST
DALLAS COWBOYS: B

The Cowboys had a superb third day of this draft. Harris is a Kelvin Martin clone and the arrival of Arkin and Nagy will help Smith make the offensive line deeper and more competitive. Murray can solve a running back riddle.


The even funnier thing is that the idioTIC won't know when to just hide away for while so he won't keep looking so stupid.

Go find out how many knee injuries Bruce Carter had. If must be 5 going by your count right about now.

Lol, this is a classic RandyWhite red-herring. What does Gosselin's thoughts on the Cowboys' draft have to do with your agenda-ridden tripe against the Patriots?

Let me help you once again...

The Patriots play in the "American Football Conference" in the "Eastern Division," aka the "AFC East."

The Cowboys play in what's called the "NFC East."

So, when Gosselin says the "Cowboys get the best marks in the NFC East," it has zero relevance to what the Patriots did.

For your next lesson, I'll be talking to you about the rules of the game and why the funny men in hats (helmets) are running around trying to tackle
each other.

Perhaps at that time you can once again explain to me why paying $12 million to Roy Williams is "actually a sweet deal for a third WR."

Great freakin' question. I think it's because if they're old enough, they remember the most recent glory days with Dallas in early 1990's and envy the fact the Patriots have been arguably the best team of this past decade.

Homers want the Cowboys to be viewed with the same reverance as the Patriots despite it being completely unwarranted coming of a 6-10 season and having won just one playoff game in what, 15+ years.

Seriously, you're literally de-evolving in front of everybody. A few more posts and you'd be communicating through caveman paintings.

Can someone please help out RandyWhite here?

This is how badly dyed-in-the-wool a boneheaded homer he is. Apparently, he thinks it's impossible for Gossellin to give credit to the Cowboys and ALSO to the Patriots.

With you being part of the shipping and receiving crew, it doesn't surprise me you're stuck on such circle-meets-square logic. Afterall, the depth of your thinking is "incoming/outgoing....lift box/put box down....Cowboys good/everyone else bad..."

 

[Verdict]

Being rational doesn't mean I'm not critical. I definitely would have preferred Will Rackley over DeMarco Murray, and think a potential starting guard is of more use to this team than a situational running back/return man.

Don't be surprised if the Cowboys selected their starting running back with a third round pick. I think Murray is way underrated and undervalued. Murray is much more versatile and much more complete than Felix Jones. With the added weight that Felix put on last year, I'm not sure that Murray isn't avtually faster. Plus the guy has one hell of a nose for the endzone. The guy is a scoring machine if it gets near the goal line.

I agree completely. Even the "great" Patriots waited until the draft was almost over to select Tom Brady. Without Tom Brady, their team would likely have been a middle of the road team, just as the Cowboys when they were without a QB for all of those many years.

Tom Brady has allowed the team the luxury of missing on a few picks and not really affecting the team that much. The Patriots draft hasn't been A+ every year, but they do coach up their players well, and scheme as well as anyone, but lets not overdo it on their drafting prowess.

I think it's because they are viewed as a very well run team. Probably viewed by many as one of the most well run teams in the league. When you're at the top, people are gonna try to take shots to knock you down.

Think it was the 5th round Bellicheat was just pulling everyones leg, he drafted a long snapper and traded picks with Philly 27 for 28 in that round, no extra picks or anything he just traded it :laugh2:
