I am totally embarrassed by this draft for this organization, and last year we were all hoping was a fluke. RK time for some draft board help.
Here is my prediction for two years from now. The QB from SDS makes the team because in another stroke of genius, we drafted Cassel who will be gone. Mayo and Crable will make it. That's it. The rest are gone. Any takers?
Fellas, time for new scouts!
I guess the sky isn't falling after all. Maybe BB and SP have some idea what they are doing. But, to be fair, it was a TWO year "guarantee".

I think O'Connell will be the number 2 QB in 09.
I already feel better with him in there over Cassell.
FO drafted this guy in the third round when it seemed to me
they could have used another O lineman or TE but they
took O'Connell when they already have two back up qb's on the roster.
They must see a lot in this guy and we're starting to see it too.
I never worried he would be cut though others would differ.
Now, see, I would difer with you. O'Connell was drafted because he was, in the eyes of the Patriots FO, the best athlete available when their turn came up. Coach has said over and over again that the emphasis is on picking the best available athlete over the needs of the team when the turn comes up. It doesn't mean that occasionally they will vary and actually pick an athlete that they have a need for, but in their minds, overall skills and athleticism trump the kid's position.
Does anyone know if Oliver Ross is eligible to play this year?
yes...same time Neal is ready to play...and I was listening to BStearns...BS....and he was saying that Neal has a shoulger injury and it may be career ending and??? WTF???? A bit before the 3rd game,,,I heard SOME report on on of the local Boston channels..saying Neal was almost ready...huh???

Respects,
This has been a continuous discussion time and again. The Patriots do not draft by BPA. They do not draft based on need. They draft by VALUE. Which is a combination of BPA and NEED. That is how they have done their draft board for years. Belichick has never said they take the best available athelete regardless of need.

Thank you. I was going to write that.
Really I was.
