Good effort. I guess I'd be pretty happy with that draft - especially with the #2 & #4 picked up for 2008.

Nothing these days is making me do cartwheels though. Except trading up for Adams or maybe Landry.

patchick

Nice work all around. One of the things I particularly appreciate about this draft is that you remembered the QB position! A lot of Pats' mocks are posted here with QB absent, or at best an afterthought. A guy like Rowe in the 5th looks right to me.

Ochmed Jones

While I admit Adams is a talent, where would he play on our defense? Who sits while he is in?

DaBruinz

Not bad heatster. Don't agree with the Browns taking Peterson. They need to build their line. It won't matter who they have at RB if their line isn't better.

I don't care for the Spencer pick.

I think that McKnight going in the 4th round is high.

Why would Houston take Chris Henry in the 6th when they already have Green, Gado, Lundy, and Dayne?

I don't care for the Darius Walker pick.

Rowe or a similar QB can be had as a UDFA.

I didn't know who Echols was and I understand why, now. He's a waste of a pick. Why draft someone if he's not even as good as the guy on our practice squad?

DaBruinz

Adams would be developing as an OLB. You move Vrabel inside and rotate Colvin, Adams and Thomas.

DaBruinz

I don't think so. I think this draft is weak at the QB position and you will see more UDGA QBs than those drafted. Also, there are numerous vets out there currently. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats bring in a nobody for TC and then sign a vet as well.

sebman2112

Interesting pick.
Question,
Why take him at 28, with Woodley still on the board? I like Spencer but is he better than Woodley?, He's just as much of a project, especially since he's never been a LB in his life. He was a D-Linemen in HS, and DE all four years at Purdue. I know he dropped into coverage, but he never played OLB/ILB for any significant time. Woodley was an OLB for two years, and he's put up better numbers. He's not any faster than Woodley 4.63-4.75 40 times compared to Woodley's 4.67-4.72 40 times. I'd be fine with the pick, I'm just interested to know why you grabbed Spencer instead of Woodley. You also like him over Beason, or Harris?
I like this pick. Does he go that high, though?
I think he goes higher, probably mid-second or early third. Good pick if he's there, but I doubt it.
Why take Darius Walker with Lorenzo Booker still on the board? I think Walker is overhyped. Also, Walker doesn't have the home run capability as Booker, and while he does have good receiving skills Booker is better at lining up at WR. I think if you're drafting a 3rd down back Booker is the better of the two.
You think he'll last to the fifth round? I've been saying I don't want Sabby but that's mostly because everyone keeps projecting him in the third round. I'd take him in the fifth, but again does he last this long?
Why take a QB this high? Couldn't you get one in the seventh, or FA?
He's ranked 23 out of 26 DT's, he's short (6'), and slow (5.41 - 40). He sounds like a FA to me. He's got the low center of gravity and weight to play NT, but he's probably a 7th or FA.
I almost took him myself, but he's got attitude problems, is slow, and is projected as a Late rounder/FA.
Might be a good pick. He could be a FA pickup, though.
I like that. Extra picks for next year is always something good to have.

Additional questions:

1) Why do you have Chris Davis going in the fourth?
2) Why is Dallas taking Meriweather at 22?
3) wouldn't Carolina take a Safety, DL, WR, or LB first? they drafted Richard Marshall in the high second just last year, and he's good.
I'm curious to see your answers.

Thanks for your time

- SP

unbelievable effort!! I have a hard time getting through round 1 let alone all 7. I am not sure if I am sold on Spencer because I think what he does well would not be what the Patriots would look for him to do. Love the Bradley pick as he is a favorite of mine as well. Great effort.
