PATRIOT64

What would you be the most surprised to see as a position taken by the Patriots with their 2 first round picks of the draft?

Defensive end. I think the Patriots are going to sign Adalius Thomas. I don't really see them taking a WR in round one either. Pats need serious help in secondary and LB

PATRIOT64

Adalius will be going to 49ers at least a 90% probability it happens IMO..The niners have 34M in cap room..too much difference for Pats to outbid unless the Niners somehow see another FA that they want to sign to big dollars as well,Otherwise we are up against a mightier team in the cap dept and don't see it happening.

From what I see the 49ers are desperate to get some of that charisma back from the 1980s again and start winning like they did then...and they want to get it done FAST,Adding Adalius is one of the ways to improve your chances.

From what I hear the Bears have Briggs set but somehow nothing is etched in stone there and for the right offer reports say the Bears may still think about giving him up....That to me is a better chance happening than BB to overspend on Thomas

briggs has said he doesnt want to play in a 3-4 he also wants to be paid more than brian urlacher, he is also undersized for a 3-4 lb and is a product of the tampa 2. so id say there is a lot better chance they overspend on a thomas because he is a perfect fit for the ne defense

This thread has given me the best Google ads yet:

One for stockmarket tips (picks), one for locksmiths (picks), one for cooling tower repairs (draft) and one for air circulating cooker hoods (draft). Awesome!

Oh, and to answer your question:

1. Quarterback

2. Linebacker. I have learned to expect the unexpected. That would really fool me!

It certainly would be unexpected.

But your answer number one got me round to thinking about when the right time would be to draft a QB relatively high. BB and SP have shown that anybody and everybody is more or less expendable.

Supposing a Brady Quinn type was available in the 2010 draft when Tom is in his tenth year as a pro the last year of his current deal. Would that be the time. Or 2009 perhaps?

I appreciate this is highly premature, but at some point you have to plan the succession.

The two that would shock me would be OL and QB, other than that there is little that would surprise me in this draft.. dependent on who is available, never can have enough DE's, LB's, CB's or safeties

Both teams can afford him. The 5m difference only comes into play if the 49'ers offer him a 135m deal over 4 years. Then yes, the patriots can't possibly match that. Adalius might want to come to a winning organization as well. I think the deal is going to happen.
