Default Draft Rumor/Speculation: Pats might take Utah St LB Bobby Wagner in round one

Don't shoot the messenger, but I saw this online:

Quote:
While most have the New England Patriots selecting a pass rushing linebacker in round one we hear a smaller linebacker who can cover is just as great a need on their draft board. Could the team take a player such as Bobby Wagner at the end of round one? Its’ definitely not out of the question

If they were going to do that, they'd take Zach Brown over Wagner. And neither of them are worth a 1st round pick.

BTW, when has Tony Pauline EVER had a scoop on the Patriots and the draft???

Don't know. I am no draftnick. In fact, I am a draft invalid.

All I know is that Wagner would be a signficant surprise pick as first rounder. That is how much my draft knowledge goes. Just passing along something I saw.

Why? Bobby Wagner's stock is on the rise whilst Brown's is on the wane and he's a poor Patriot fit, character-wise to boot.. If that's the route, I'd rather have Lavonte David than the other two though.

Good article about him here :

Steeler Addicts – Pittsburgh Steelers News, Forum, Blog, & Fan Site » Blog Archive » Draft Prospects: Bobby Wagner an intriguing option for the Steelers?

Honestly I haven't paid any attention to him but it sounds like he had a great workout.

How does he compare to Vrabel?

From reading that, it seems like Wagner was just speculation, while the desire for a cover LB is a report.

I watched some film, ready to be a hater. I like his game. Read and react player. Good in coverage. Not overpowering rusher, but can make plays. Good tackler. Doesn't get fooled by the screen pass. Overall, there's a lot to like.

Is this first round talent? Maybe, yes? He would be a great help on third down, which has been such a crap shoot last few years. Do you spent #31 on a guy you project as a third down player? I'd be more inclined to wait for him at 48.

Neither Wagner or Brown are a good fit for the Patriots.. That's my point. I would thought that was plainly obvious. And Wagner's stock isn't rising worth a damn.

I want, no I need lavonte david. Throw in a good wide receiver and i'll call it a day during the draft.
