Default Very disappointing

I kow the draft is not over
I know SF pick could be in the 16-20 next year


But Deion Branch for Brandon Merriweather and basically nothing else the first day of the draft?

There were so many possibilities before the welker trade for teh Pats to get younger and more athletic on defence with 2 #1's a #2 and a three


All we get is a 5'10 featherweight safety.

Be honest...there must be others who are feeling disappointed.

While I am disappointed, I think its foolish to call Meriweather a featherweigth safety. He's actually got 5 lbs on Eugene Wilson. And he could put on another 5-10 lbs in the Pats programs.

I don't agree with BB that the Patriots got good value with their trade. Sorry, there isn't anyone who can convince me of it. Not when Dallas was able to trade up from the 4th spot in the 2nd round for a 3rd and 5th round pick.

What did you see something I didnt see? I didnt notice Branch doing anything special what so ever. Personally I'd have liked to snag David Harris. But I'm not at all angry at Beoli for accepting a trade. Who knows the 49'ers could do good or bad next year. Lets hope for the latter and we get a great pick.

Marcus, I swear to God the Pats could win the next 10 Super Bowls and you'd still be disappointed. That's all I ever read from you.

This draft hasn't been disappointing in the least.

Next year, you will be happy we have 2 first picks. The players stock should be better. Don't forget we could trade up in the 3rd with the 4th rounder Pats got.

It isn't realistic to say it's only Branch for Meriweather and that's it for Day 1. We also get:

Wes Welker
An unnamed 3rd-rounder
An unnamed 2008 1st-rounder

There's also still the possibility of trading up. We have two 4th rounders and two 6th rounders that we can package to make a late 3rd. With the other third and picks from next year, there's still plenty of possibility for a move up.

Pats one:

perhaps you should stick to the topic rather than personal shots.

Are you happy with this years draft so far?



Look what the jets did for example

The Jets got a CB, albeit a very good one. And this is much better than getting a good safety?

Are you a Jets fan?
