Fail

Nick Perry might be a great player going forward, but I don't see him as a fit for the Pats at all. He's about 30 lbs. lighter than any of the DE's we use in our 3/4, or our 4/3 historically, and in the post season drills he showed no aptitude that I could see playing with his hand off the ground.

Stephen Hill is a total development project. I can't see the value of a pick like this in the 1st round.

I like Denard. Not sure I like him at pick 48.

James is a good player, but I see him more in a specialist role. If we draft any RBs/ WRs, I would think it would be mostly for their return ability. Do you use a #62 for a returner?

Basically, we spend our first 2 picks on development players, who will only be situational players for the next few years. Then we make two picks of questionable value. Doesn't seem like a Patriot draft at all IMO.

Is there a link for this silliness?

If he is drafted to play safety and he can play it well then I'd love the pick.

Fail.

If for some strange reason we didn't make any trades, the top 4 picks certainly have to be DE/OLB, DL, DB, and interior OL.
