He specifically said the patriots wouldnt be drafting locker. just has locker going in that slot

Walpole Pats Fan

Looks like he's saying that the Pats would trade out of that spot if Locker is there and another team is interested in jumping in?

jsull87

he's not really mocking Locker to us he's just saying thats where he thinks he will be picked. I'd be happy with that news as it would mean the NE trade extravaganza has now begun

patriot lifer

okay, I was thinking he was saying that, but it wasn't clear to me.

I think his mock show tonight will be the last of all the mocks I look at. As JeffBiologist said in another thread "I am mocked out"

Jordan is a possibilty at 17, although if Bowers is still on the board, he needs to be considered there depending on medical reports of course.

I like Mayock, but there's no way the Patriots take Locker at 28.

I believe he means that the pats will trade the pick for a team wanting Locker.They can't draft and trade Locker without a CBA.

I disagree with Mayock,regarding pick #33,which I believe becomes more attractive because it is owned by BB
Teams would rather trade with him because he has no reason to try to gouge the buyer,as the Pats don't need to.Many GM's have mentioned that BB is fair and honest in trade dealings.Since he is likely to deal the pick to a team with the worst 2012 prognosis,it puts additional pressure on a "better" 2011 team to bump up their 2011 2nd or third round offer.

I don't care a lick,that the Patriots "only" have 5 draft choices in 2012....optimum,to me, would be 2 #1's and 2 #'2's....that's it....Don't need no more,imho.

He said that someone will trade up to pick Locker with our 28th, read the paragraph guys.

That makes sense then, and Locker is a good player but I don't see him as a good value to any team in that slot.
