Kareem Brown to Jets - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

The Jets keep picking scraps from our table.

When will they learn? Only the Patriots can turn garbage into solid players. The Jets cant.

People also seem to forget the Patriots hated this draft, and did their best to move picks forward or acquire veteran players with. This draft is a success as far as I'm concerned, Randy Moss and Wes Welker make it so.

I just mentioned on another thread that the Jets have as many of our

2007 draft choices on their 53 man roster as we do (grand total of one).

Three out of nine is pretty lousy no matter how good the drafting team is.

If the Pats were going to blow away the 2007 draft, why didn't they

trade away all their choices except for the four complementary picks?

I hope I'm reading that right.

Hee hee.

Pretty sure the Jets will field a whole team of players we have cut.

Feh. More fuel for the border war.

But, seriously, though--by and large, if more than a few rookies made the team, it would have been very weird--but I didn't expect so many to be claimed off waivers by other teams (although I'm personally hoping the Cowboys are smart enough to develop Justin Rogers, but stupid enough to let him become an RFA).

Maybe someday he'll outplay Santonio Thomas.

Makes you wonder what it would have hurt to just throw darts at every player with LB next to his name?

The trouble with losing so many rookies is that they are a source of

cheap talent. You can use their low salaries to offset large salaries.

This is what enables the Colts to pay players like Peyton Manning,

Reggie Wayne, and Dwight Freeney.

Does this mean Mel Kiper might need to get a REAL job?
