Any chance of Arrelious Benn being available at #44? - New England Patriots Forums

If he can be a deep threat, I say take a flier on him if he's available. Apparently, he's NFL ready physically.

I see Tampa Bay and Buffalo as two teams that will definitely consider a wide receiver with their second round pick. Golden Tate, Taylor Price and Damian Williams are other choices for these teams. Perhaps, one of them could push Benn down...

Golden Tate will be a better pro IMO and Belichick likes those Irish players

Benn will certainly be in striking distance of 44

Some like Williams,not me

I still believe the Pats use a few lower picks to move up into the lower 30s and take Tate or maybe an OLB/DT that they feel will be gone by 44

Production scares me off, much rather have Damian Williams who has great hands, is quick, can run advanced routes and is smart enough to pick up the system. I don't think Benn is mentally capable enough to learn the offense.

The man got san 11 on his Wonderlic... how many years do you think it will take HIM to learn our offense.

Name your WR, Benn, Williams, Tate, Decker, etc, most will likely still be there. I think we're actually likely to look at WR at 2b or 2c because there's so many or even Sanders at 3 now that we have a 3.

Dan Marino got a 13. He seemed to do okay as the Dolphins QB.

Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a perfect 50 in only 9 minutes. Seems to have gotten him pretty far in the NFL.

What about Blair White from Michigan State? If you look at his times, they're all pretty outstanding, VJ, 40, ss, long shuttle...supposedly good hands.

They say he's not "quick enough", lacks a "burst", but I don't know, a lot of the offense is knowing where to be and having decent hands...For a low round pick he could be a steal.

tate will be gone before the pats pick. Charlie weiss will take him for KC.

I agree. I feel our best chance is to move up with 44 and our 3rd and grab Tate. He is so solid imo. I'd love to see him be the guy if we don't resign Moss. Steve Smith jr some call him.
