I don't, those guys were each picked a round too early for me.

1st - Wimbley/Lawson OLB (I will waffel between these two until we are on the clock)

2nd - Marshall CB. A move up in the second for one of the fourth rounders can get it done

3rd A- Avant WR. I would have liked Stoval but he would be gone by now

3rd B - Greg Eslinger C. Somehow has been eclipsed by Mangold and has dropped on most boards to fourth round. A steal in the late third.

Has anyone hear seen "Let it Ride", where Richard Dreyfuss asks the general public who they have picked in one of the races and continues to cross out every horse until there is one left. Then he picks that horse to win. I bet if you tally all of the names listed here, BB will pick someone we never saw coming and it will be the best pick of all.

That is such one step thinking. BB is two steps ahead.

So instead of taking someone that nobody suspects, he will instead take the someone everyone expects therefore doing the unexpected. By taking a Carpenter or Lawson, he will throw other teams way off the mark as they were sure he was not going too, since everyone seemed to think they would. Classic two step thinking.

Or, it could be that we are overthinking the draft a bit (ya don't say...), and Belichick ends up drafting large 1st round guys who are safe and not risky selections. Maybe he'll draft a DL again and feature a revolutionary 5-DL defense next year. Or, maybe he'll draft a TE again and create a 3-tight-end offense (T-bone formation, 1930's style)!
