News - Bobby Carpenter Hoping For More Playing Time

They are looking to trade him for a JAG OL-man. He didn't do badly at OLB but didn't fare so well when moved inside. We have the draft choices and probably an OL-man to swap if the interest is there. Relatively young and would provide some experience at the LB position.

Are Murrell and possibly Alexander worth not giving this guy a shot?

OLB (5) - Banta-Cain, Cunningham, Ninkovich, Woods, Murrell
ILB (5) - Mayo, Spikes, Guyton, McKenzie, Alexander


I think it would be worth a look see, but I won't claim any special insight here.

If it didn't cost more than a 7, I'd gladly give him a shot.

Uh...I'll pass.

Aren't we better than picking up Dallas' busts?

Nope......

Now might be a good time to bump the inevitable thread complaining about how BB passed on Barbie Carpenter in that draft.

PatsCanDoIt

Most Cowboy fans I've talked to think he's a dummy. Besides the goal is to add talent.

Hmmmmmmm.....a LB corps that included Adam Seward and Bobby Carpenter sounds very intriguing........

Urgent

hey - another LB that many fans were interested in a couple years ago, who hasn't performed well in the NFL.
Vernon Gholston!
Derrick Harvey!
Everette Brown!

However, one can also point to Jon Beason (142 tackles, who many here wanted over Maroney), or Clay Matthews (10 sacks as a rookie, taken three slots after the Patriots position in the 2009 draft, who many here wanted rather than trading down for Ron Brace).

But, the point isn't whether a bunch of fans are good or bad at projecting the performance of college linebackers. It is that the Patriots have really failed to draft and groom a good young outside linebacker since Willie McGinest in 1994. Whether we have a great hit rate is sort of immaterial. It's more important that Belichick and the Patriots succeed at that.

Hopefully, ILB is in a much better situation with Mayo, Spikes, and McKenzie.

He had his fans here for sure, but the Pats never had a chance to pass on him. Manny Lawson was another story....

All in all, stunningly few impact players came out of that 1st round. And to think that choosing Mario Williams first cost the GM his job.
