Default Win, Fail, or Meh? #1

Here's a draft over at Football's Future, where they often bring the FAIL.

For once, though, I'm not sure if it's, as the title suggests, a win, a fail, or just meh.

McClain, Dan Williams, Iupati, Cody, and Hughes are all off the board at 22, but Sam Bradford is not, so this mocker has the Redskins trading with the Patriots. The Pats trade out of the first round altogether, and get a 2011 2nd and a 2010 5th.

37) Patriots (from WAS): Navorro Bowman, OLB Penn St
44) Patriots (from JAX): Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh
47) Patriots (from TEN): Golden Tate, WR Notre Dame
53) Patriots: Micah Johnson, ILB Kentucky

Gets a fail simply because Bowman's name is there.

The other three picks are great mind.

Looking at it, Odrick was on the board when we picked - swap him for Bowman and that's a home run.

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

I fail any draft without someone to start at RG.

I think we need a guard - wrong mike johnson? micah seems a bit of a reach, though I like him from what i've read so far.

Little interest in Bowman - are we moving to 4-3?

Given the names available at #22, I wouldn't make the trade with the Redskins. Dunlop, Williams, Jones, Spiller, Pierre-Paul, etc. This team needs an impact player, and they're in good position to draft one at 22, whomever BB decides is that man.

Johnson is a bigger, less-quick Tyrone McKenzie so he is unnecessary.

Bowman is a value pick at #37 but Belichick would have to find a role for him. I think he would thrive as a playmaker in the "linebackers roaming around" formation on passing downs.

Love Romeus and at #44 he would be great value.

Tate is super productive and should click with Brady (smart routes, great hands, quick separation). Hard to argue with this pick given Welker's injury.

Johnson is a fail, Romeus and Tate are clear wins, Bowman is a win if there is a role for him.

Thumbs down Re: Win, Fail, or Meh? #1

Not a fair trade for the Pats, and only one of the picks is on my list of Pats prospects.

I would have failed it, but Romeus has now announced that he'd going back to Pitt, so it makes even less sense.

I generally don't post user drafts from other sites, because they're not very accurate. This one is all over the place. It's got players listed who hadn't declared (Romeus, Jeremy Beal, Kareem Jackson), some huge reaches (Jon Asamoah in the 1st round, Ciron Black in the 2nd), and some major guys missing (Corey Wootten, Maurkice Pouncey, Vlad Ducasse).
