Did Lynch get that rape complaint sorted out?

I'd be extremely disappointed if they reached for Leonard at 28. He's someone that the Pats should target. However, he's not a first rounder. If you're thinking of taking him at 28, then you trade out of the first round and get some extra picks. He'll be there in the middle of round 2...

All his stats declined since then. Surprising that every "100 list" has him rated so high since his experience is so thin, compared to the other top 5 rated CB's.
This kid may be Superman, I haven't seen him, but my feeling is he won't start this year unless we suffer another year of injuries.
Do you expect ANYONE we select at #24 to start this season? As a general guideline, year two is the expected date for anyone in that slot to become a starter. And any CB would be part of the sub-packages his rookie season, eventually competing for the starting spot the next season. That would be the hope...

You can't see the JEST taking him with their first second-rounder?

I'd have zero problem with those two picks. And for future reference, I doubt I'll have a problem with ANY of our picks.

Not saying that I want Leonard in the first round, but several great players like Tom Brady, Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, etc. weren't rated as first round draft picks but most would give them first round grades in retrospect considering their level of play so take ratings with a grain of salt. But I also understand that if none of the other teams would have picked him in the first round , then you are not getting value by picking him too high. The tricky part is that you don't know how the other teams have Leonard rated. That's the fun part of the draft since the ratings and draft gurus are often wrong. Having said that, I wouldn't mind getting Leonard for a second round pick or even trading up in the second round if the team thinks he is worth the value.

I know that many on this board would not want to see another running back taking in the first round this year, but i'd be delighted if we somehow ended up with both Revis and Lynch in the first round. Lynch seems to me to be a downhill power runner who drags several tacklers with him, whereas I see Maroney as a more shifty runner who can break to the outside. Both are explosive and potential game changing players and would complement each other well. I'd definitely rather have Lynch than Leonard if a running back were chosen in the first round but both can be the power runners that Dillon was.

Lynch is an outstanding back and could really excel in Denver's one cut offense. It's hard to imagine Lynch falling past Denver.
