So what round would you take him and are you going to let him compete with Hanson or just cut Hanson?

I'd take both CMU WR's.

Brown could develop into a Harvin-type, Anderson could end up being a really nice possession receiver.

We have two possession receivers in Welker and Edleman. We have a deep threat in Moss, what we need is a guy with the heart of a lion and tons of courage to work the intermediate zone (10 - 15 yards) both outside AND inside. And to do that they must have outstanding quick twitch or a huge amount of disability insurance.

Sounds like the guy you want is an Eric Decker or Riley Cooper.

Love the LaGarrette Blount and Freddie Barnes choices, if they last long enough.

Some guys I like:

- Chris Marinelli, OT, Stanford. 6'7", 300#, did a fabulous job blocking for Toby Gerhart and Andrew Luck this year.
- Zoltan Mesko, P, Michigan. We need some more competition for Chris Hanson. Heck, we need a punter.
- Tony Moeaki, TE, Iowa. Good all around prospect.
- Clifton Geathers, DE, South Carolina. 6'8", 290# guy who could have a high upside at both 4-3 and 3-4 DE.
-

Yeah Geathers for some reason is coming out early, he hhas a very high upside, and I would like to see the Pats take a shot at him too!

I have cried for BB to draft a punter for the last few years, and although he did sign my binky as a UFA last year, he didn't make the cut. So I've given up on asking him to draft punters, but I too would like to see him use one of the comp picks on Zoltan or the kid from Va Tech.

If we don't draft a RB, WR, or DB who has return skills by the end of round two, then I'd start looking at some day two prospects who fit the bill.

I'm probably the biggest Armanti Edwards fan in the world. Don't see him doing much in the nfl tho

Yeah I agree with this, the days of having Matthew Slater back there must end. This is the only thing we missed Hobbs for, he was a great kick returner. We need a punt return guy now too, unless Edleman takes over. I was never a big fan of Welker being back there, his average was great but i thought it was asking a lot of his body and i don't think he was a consistant threat to go all the way.

TriplecHamp · 01-14-2010, 09:13 PM

Blount will be the steal of the draft if he goes in the fourth or later. IMO hes at least a second round talent but we all know why hes slipped. I dont think he will be a problem if he were to come here. Curran is a great player but he doesnt fit our scheme. If we could land McCluster to be the new speed back we should keep Morris and Faulk.

If I were convinced he were the guy, I'd probably use the fourth rounder. I might let Hanson stick around for TC, just in case I were badly wrong.

That said, BB hasn't seen any need to use a draft pick on a punter since he got to Foxboro. And he saw enough in Hanson to drop Danny Baugher like a hot potato (remember, he was cut before his arrest, not the other way around), so I'm guessing what will happen is that, once again, BB won't use a pick on a punter, will bring in a good UDFA, and then decide he'd rather stick with Hanson.
