Default the all bust draft

post your worst nightmare Pats draft ( when picking positions of need, don't take 4 QB's etc )

#22 Jason Pierre-Paul OLB

Biggest bust potential in the 1st round, all hype & combine numbers no real football production. Very very raw & best case will take years to develop.

#44 Carlos Dunlap DE

DUI the day before the biggest game of the season, questionable motor. I've read he did VERY poorly with his combine interviews.

#47 Arrelious Benn WR

I want nothing to do with a WR that cant even put up decent numbers in college.

#53 Jonathan Dwyer RB

Triple option offense inflated his stats, showed up out of shape to the combine & looked ( & timed ) slow. Much much rather pick Toby Gerhart or Tate @53 if we pick a RB here.

Not to speak for others, but I'm pretty sure a lot of ppl in here would be ECSTATIC over that draft.
Honestly haven't researched JPP much because I know someone will reach on him. As for Dunlap, if he has his head on straight he'd be a steal AT 22!

Dunlaps would be a steal? He falls asleep at a red light, dead drunk 4 days before the SEC championship game and looks lethargic on the field. Didn't impress in interviews either. That would be a steal at 22?

I agree. I think alot of people would be happy with a draft like that. You do have the potential for some busts with those 4 picks, but you also have the potential for some really good players.

Which is why I said "if he has his head on straight" in regards to the off field stuff. His play on the field far supersedes a pick at 22, especially in our system. He's everything BB looks for in a strongside outside backer.

I couldn't put together a bust list without Brandon Lafell and Trevard Lindley on it. I'll be shocked if either are in the NFL 5 years from now.

I do think all four of your choices have high bust potential.

I do not want Dunlap, and I was not impressed by JPP's actual play.

I do think you're being way too hard on Benn though. Can't blame him for the Juice's throwing problems.

Of those 4 guys, I would take Benn in the mid 2nd round if he's still there.

I do acknowledge though that he has high bust potential. There's also a high reward associated with him as well.

We shouldn't forget that Vincent Jackson was called a bust after one year.

Benn unfortunately played with one of the worst QB's in college football last year, so he should get a pass for that reason. The others have bust potential, but also boom potential as well.

I will be that guy who throws out the one and only Tim Tebow as a bust.

Also remember he is only 20 years old and comes out of a nasty neighborhood in North Charleston SC. In the right setting he could matures into solid citizen off the field and a beast on the field.

I agree with you 100% on Lafell. He really took advantage of defensive backs cheating up in case the LSU QB ran. I am not sure he runs his routes crisply at all.
