Default Reiss: Patriots pick 23rd in first round

Patriots blog - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

Quote:
RAVENS LOSS CREATES FOUR-WAY ROTATION FOR PATRIOTS DRAFT POSITION: With the Ravens losing to the Steelers in the AFC championship game, they will revert to their original draft position, 26th overall. The Ravens are part of a four-team cluster with 11-5 records which includes the Patriots (23rd), Falcons (24th) and Dolphins (25th). Those four teams will rotate in each round of the draft. From a Patriots perspective, the team will pick 23rd in the first round, then will be in the 26th spot in the second round, and in the 25th spot in the third round and so forth. Had the Ravens advanced to the Super Bowl, they would have picked 31st or 32nd in each round regardless of their 11-5 record.
Is that a good draft position for us in the first?

I would have liked a 32nd pick, but yea - Bill will like that.

The Wild Card is what will Cassel get us - High First? And then what will Billerio do with that pick.

23rd is a crappy position for a team that didn't make the playoffs, but when you consider that we went 11-5, you realize that it could have been worse. We should be picking 19th. Only 4 spots back from where we should be, so it's not the end of the world.

agreed. Its like the Pats are being punished for not making the playoffs. But im sure this has happened to other teams in the past. Its just the first time its happening to the Pats. So as BB would say: "It is what it is".

23rd isn't bad. It could be worse.

#23 picks
in 2008 the Steelers got Mendenahall
in 2007 the Chiefs got Dwayne Bowe
in 2006 the Bucs got Davin Joseph
in 2005 the Raiders got Fabian Washington
in 2004 the Seahwaks got Marcus Tubbs

Ok not exactly the most memorable picks... but it depends on how good a team's scouting department is too. There are plenty of strong late 1st picks and the Pats usually draft well in the 1st round regardless.

Was Ty Law the 23rd pick?

Yes he was, in the 1995 NFL draft. I hadn't thought about that.

No worries didn't we get someone's second for trading down last year, and we will most likely get another first for Cassel. All is Good in Pats land

As long as it's not a TE - RB or WR, i hope the new guy Nick Cesario can buck Pioli's horrible trend in the Offensive department.

So what exactly is the thinking behind rotating the picks? That doesn't seem to make much sense.
