It would make alot more sense for the pats to trade up to the 2nd round and draft BUSH..for his a pure bigger RB..and would let Mills grow into his Hback Role and not disrupt Faulk/Morris/Evans
Bush is not a powerback.
He's a converted quarterback.
He doesn't run with as much power as his size indicates. Like... Ron Dayne...
Plus he broke his leg and it's not fully healed.
Better inside runners can be had later such at Hunt from Pent State, or even our own Steve Baylark from UMASS Amherst whom they worked out and could be had in the 5th or 6th

I'm thinking the exact same thing.

Drafting Leonard at 28 would be spectacularly retarded.

This team needs LBs and DBs all day Saturday.

MrTibbs has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Re: Sadly, NFL Draft Countdown probably nailed our #28 pick

I agree with what your saying but I can see it now come draft day. Patriots take a TE or Brian Leonard simply because they were the #1 rated guys in their position and conisdered it to be a "value" pick. Thats when I throw stuff at the TV. Oh don't forget maybe getting an offensive linemen who we don't need either.

Woah, woah, woah.

Poz and Leonard in the first round? That's mgteich's plan three days ago! So sad these guys can't even write their own stuff they gotta lift ideas from internet message boards.

I would love to see us pick up Leonard, but I would prefer if we did it in the 2nd round via packaging picks to move up or trading down from 28. If we stay put, I would hope for LB/DB, but wouldn't throw anything at the TV if we stayed put and took him. Would be surprised though.

I don't mind Leonard at all - except in the first round. As for Pass, NO WAY is he back with the Pats.

The Patriots are drafting defense in the first round - twice - and probably for most of the draft. They drafted almost all offense last year then absolutely nailed the WR issue in free agency. Sure we signed Thomas, that's just the start. Watch.

I agree on the Leonard in one of the 1st round,but Pass isn't even a Patriot as we speak....We replace Pass with Morris...I think a safe bet would be DB or an ILB,either order...Watch it will be a TE & OL

Right - how often are FB's drafted in the first round?

Trade back into the 2nd and he's still there.

Patrick Pass is a UFA. So, no, we don't have him.

We have Maroney, Evans, Faulk, Morris, Mills and Hill. Mills is more of an H-back than a Full-back. Hill is an unknown. Faulk is injury prone and has been injured in key situations each of the last several years.
