Exclamation The Patriots absolutely, positively select:

CB Antoine Cason, Arizona

Granted, the Patriots are all about keeping their options open on draft day, so most possibilities would seem reasonable. I think, ideally speaking, they might consider FS Kenny Phillips. But, surely, he'll be long gone (Watch!).
So, the Pats sneak away with one of the finest CB's to come out in years.
You can take that to the bank. I preach it, you believe it!

I would be happy with McKelvin, Talib, or Cason but think that we would get better value if we were able to trade down and still get one of them. I hope we don't pick Jenkins because he didn't impress me at his bowl game but i may change my mind if his Combine numbers are really good.

Do you think CB is your absolute biggest need? Nothing else even needs consideration?

I think it obviously depends on whether Asante resigns. But Gay is also an UFA, so if they both leave then yes, CB is without a doubt our biggest draft need.

People have talked about the age of the LB corps, but even if Bruschi and Seau were both to retire, we still have Thomas, Colvin, and Vrabel. I'm sure BB would prefer to plug that last hole with a veteran as well.

If I had to bet on it, I'd say a CB will be the pick. Then again, trying to project a BB draft pick is like trying to predict rain in Death Valley.

You think we can get through an entire NFL season with only Thomas, Vrabel and Colvin?

Read the very next sentence (which you quoted). Some people would rather put creative smilies in their post than actually read and respond to what others say. As I SAID, I'm sure BB would prefer to plug the LB hole(s) created by Bruschi and Seau (assuming they retire) with a veteran, as opposed to drafting someone early. This is especially true since Laurinitis, the guy most people linked to the Pats, is going back to OSU.

I think Seau will retire. Bruschi may have one more year in him.

If the pats take a DB in the 1st round, you'll probably see a lot more Nickel Coverage in the 08/09 season.

Pats are paying Jarvis Green a LOT of money. And Seymour would dominate the trenches inside with Wilfork. Like we saw early on when Seymour came off the PUP List.
