Re: Day 2 tomorrow,Who do you still like?
It is fairly obvious that the Pats FO/scouts didn't want anything to do with this draft class. They didn't trade down...they traded out! They didn't get full value for either #28 or #91, which tells you how little they valued those picks this year. I don't think they wanted to take a day 1 prospect that they didn't strongly believe could make the gameday active 45. Don't want a first day pick to languish on the inactive list (sorry Marquise).
So what does this tell us about day 2 (9 picks, 4 must be used)? Pretty much search for some diamonds in the rough. Take some flyers and hope to score on 1 or 2 long-term propects that can help on special teams now. If there was ANYONE that they really liked that is still on the board, I think they would have kept #91.
Who should be on the radar? Contribute on special teams, position flexibility, intelligent/coachable. I have no idea who fits that profile. I'll get back to you tomorrow night.
