Very VERY interesting.

Adrian Peterson falling to 12.
Cleveland taking Joe Thomas at #3.
Cardinals taking Leon Hall at #5

Pats taking Revis at 24 and Staley at 28.

Ones that I don't think will happen:
Eagles take Jarrett at 26.
Chargers taking Ted Ginn at #30
Timmons to the Jets at 25

One word applies to Rang's Pats picks: Stooppidddd !

Hall at five? Not even worth opening the link, Rob Rang is an idiot.

DaBruinz

How are they stupid? Or haven't you bothered to actually do some looking at the Pats team depth in awhile?

1) Revis - Best CB left on the board. Could provide the top value at that point depending on how BB and Pioli have their board sorted.

2) Staley - Best OT left at that point. Of the 5 OTs on the roster, only 3 are under contract beyond this season. Light will be 29 in June. Kaczur will be 28 in July. O'Callaghan is 24, but had injury concerns coming out of college and suffered a concussion that he never really seemed to recover from last year. Britt (going on 26) and Bubin (26) are unknowns.

Also, take into consideration that the Patriots have had to use 4 OTs every year for the past 8 years. There hasn't been a season where they haven't had to use 4 OTs. That is highly unusual.

So, if the Pats feel that Staley is the best value for the team at that point, yes, I CAN see them taking Staley. Especially if they see him taking over for Light for the 2008 season with Light moving to the RT side.

Guy has actually placed more guys on teams with his final mocks than Mel Kiper and you think Rang is the idiot.

Maybe you should read the explanation instead of dismissing it because of your own bias.

This is the problem with mocks. Either they're all almost the same or someone goes out of the box and they're an idiot.

Rob isn't an idiot. I don't happen to agree with that pick but I do like to see mock by people who have good NFL sources that aren't all the same.

BelichickFan

I'm with DaBruinz on this one, CB is a very good possibility where we sit at #24 and while Kaczur and O'Callaghan are interesting, RT has been a revolving door; it would be nice to get that revolving door stopped.

DaBruinz

If the Pats take Staley, I think its to groom him for the left side, not the right side, honestly. But they could have him start on the right side.

A LOT depends on Kaczur, Bubin and O'Callaghan and how the team feels they have progressed.

BelichickFan

That's fine if they can move Light to the right side. He would certainly be great for pass protection over there although he seems to have trouble getting the kind of bulk that would be nice at RT.

Rang's mock is interesting, he admits Hall might be high but says pretty much unequivocally that he's going top ten.

Every mock is interesting, even if I don't agree with them. It's 3/15 and everyone of the "experts' mocks will change several times before 4/27.

The mocks that come out the day before the draft are the ones that are remembered. As this time, the situation is "fluid".
