What would your ideal Patriots draft look like? (realistic)
I have been through all the profiles and looked at more mocks than I care to admit too and have been on this board finding valuable info more than I have been working and thought it was time for everyone to show who their favorites are and show their ideal draft. I will start:
TRADES:
#24-trade down with TB and aquire picks #35 and #64
#180 and #202-trade up to pick #153
IDEAL DRAFT FOR ME:
#28-Brandon Merriweather-my #2 safety overall and think he has the potential to be an Ed Reed type.
#35-Lamaar Woodley-Honestly think he is the best player from the Wolverines team, a football player, to me he could be the next Adalius Thomas because I think he is versatile enough to do a lot of different things.
#64-David Harris- Smart, great tackler and has good speed, 2nd best ILB in this draft and would be a nice addition to the D
#91-Stewart Bradley- I know I have gone heavy at LB but we need youth and versatily.
#127-Michael Coe-bigger corner than has a lot of potential
#153-Dwayne Wright-kinda a poor mans Leonard Russell. Not superfast, but could be a nice compliment to Maroney. Catches the ball well and is a decent blocker in the pass game.Versatility is his biggest asset.
#171-Courtney Taylor-Taller wide reciever that runs great routes and has great hands. Not the fastest guy, but a lot of interviews with the corners coming out this year said he was the toughest guy they have ever faced.
#208-Mike Otto-Otto played LT but would probably be more of a guard or RT in the NFL, good size and footwork, durable, smart, 4 year starter from a system than does zone blocking
#209-Jeff Rowe-developmental QB that is smart. Good leadership skills and is an accurate passer. Not the strongest arm, but that can be developed.
#247-Keith Jackson-Big DT that would be a nice future backup to Wilfork. Not real tall, but is stout and good against the run, has the body to be a 3-4 NT.
so there you have it, no real huge reaches I don't think. I would love any comments on mine or to see what other people are thinking would make them a happy camper on draft weekend.

Re: What would your ideal Patriots draft look like? (realistic)
I'm confused MWP, are we talking ideal as in dream draft, or some attempt at reality? If the latter the games Nut and Mav started offered folks a format to show whom they liked while making some allowance for draft ranking. If your talking dreamland I can put together a doozy to upset the faithful!

Re: What would your ideal Patriots draft look like? (realistic)
honestly,
I was hoping for a little bit of both. I love the "draft game" but I didn't want to confine people to some websites rankings of players. With that said, I don't think it would be benificial to have the patriots drafting Calvin Johnson at 24 and Laron Landry at 28 because that really is a fantasy that is impossible.
I don't mind stretching some guys so they fall to you, just don't want to see really crazy things.
So you go ahead and have Carriker make it to you at 24, I know you love him.

OH JOY! OH JOY! Actually my wetdream draft would require a fair bit of stretching. I'll see what I can get done for you.

Re: What would your ideal Patriots draft look like? (realistic)
Here's one.
1a. Anthony spencer OLB
1b. trade down into 2nd round, pick up 4th round or so
2a. From samuel trade - Meriweather S/CB
2b. Posluzny - ILB or Harris ILB
3. Josh Wilson CB
4. Quincy Black S/LB New Mexico
5. AJ Davis CB NC State
6a. Danny Ware RB Georgia
6b. Will Herring Safety/LB
6c. Walter Thomas NW Missouri State DT
random QB
Re: What would your ideal Patriots draft look like? (realistic)
1. Patriots trade pick 24 for Rocky mchintosh, Carlos Rogers and the 6th overall, As the falcons cry the patriots pick up Laron Landry who will be a complete stud for the pats for years and Rodney Harrisons new best friend.
2. After the Patriots Trade the rights to Marquise Hill the 28th pick and the Second round pick we got for Randall gay and take a additional 4th round pick the patriots select Patrick Willis. Everyone on Espn goes crazy and the Bills literally rip down their draft board.
3. The Patriots select Josh wilson who will be our nickelback for years to come.
4.Alot of people have this kid drafted alot of different spots but the Patriots take no chance at their highmotor highly coachable new special team demon.
Zak Deossie.
4.Patriots need to get at least one wide reciever and here he is day hello to Johnny Lee Higgins and the patriots can't beleive he fell this far. Pioli and BB just lit up a victory cigar.
5.best player on the board here and you know BB can't resist he finally pulls the trigger on his new toy Ben Patrick Tight end says the kid loves to block and led his team in receptions trust me BB will find room for him on the roster.
Everything else who knows but if the draft fell this way The dynasty would remain for years and years to come.

What gives you the idea that Woodley is versatile? The idea that, as a linebacker, he was pulled in obvious passing situations? I have a hard time seeing Woodley as an Adalius Thomas.

I have a hard time believing that the Pats would draft 2 players from the same team, let alone 3 LBs in a row. Harris is intriguing, but a steal at 64.

The only pick I truly like so far.

This seems to be very early for Wright. He's a projected 6th rounder.

Could you provide a link to those interviews?
Also, for a WR, I prefer Chris Davis because of his returing ability.

When you say "had the body to be a 3-4NT," usually that means built like Wilfork or Washinton. At 6'-305 he reminds me, somewhat, of Dan Klecko.

I think that the Pats would focus on safety or CB more than just the 2 measly picks you have them taking. I don't think those picks are enough, honestly.
