Tonight is where a Championship is made - New England Patriots Forums

I would hate to have forked over $65 for last night at Gillette! Was anyone on this board there; were there screams of anguish by the crowd?

Anyway tonight is where the Patriots make hay. They can basically have anyone they want tonight and this is where Emperor gets his Death Star. The Patriot should be able to fill all their holes starting with a pass rusher. Also look for a WR and a OG or two. Probably a safety / CB also.

I agree with the thread title.

Even if a guy doesn't go on to become a starter, if he's the 30th best player on the team, you have done well. You have done well because you have replaced the 53rd best player with a 30th best player, which raises the average talent level significantly.

Pick 33: trade (hopefully to a terrible team) for a 1st rounder next year.

Picks 56 & 60: pick best player available (there are 5 intriguing receivers left - Titus Young, Torrey Smith, Randall Cobb, Leonard Hankerson & Jerrel Jernigan).

3rd round picks: trade for 2nd rounders next year.

The results? This year: Solder + who we'd pick at 56 & 60.
Next year: three 1st rounders and three 2nd rounders!

I disagree.

our 1st 2nd is a LATE 1

we keep it get REED and the doubters can eat crow when thy see him perform this year

I love the trade game
why not trade a desperate team a 3 for a 2?

Carolina as that team last year and that 2 is a late 1.

This is random... since I cannot make posts I have to ask through a post.

Are NFL Nike Jerseys this year???

the Hats appear to be Reebok or is the Hat thing a l8r move?

if I am posting too much I apologize... the draft FIRES me up big time

I don't think so, tonight is where more depth is added and potentially 1-2 starters.

With the extra ammo they may have the ability to trade for some veterans (Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Vincent Jackson, etc.) and if free agency ever starts they can add another starter or two.

The championship is still almost completely on the shoulders of #12, if he plays great they win. If he plays average they have a real hard time.

The title of the thread should be renamed Tonight is Where a Championship Was Lost.

Rasi Dowling at 33? WTF?

My only question now remains:
Is Bill either blindly arrogant,
Or just brain damaged?

Whatever the answer, the Emperor Who Wears No Clothes
has completely fokked-up this draft. What a disgrace.

Guarantee you said the same thing after the McCourty pick.
