Could Mike Griffin be the best "S" fit for NE?

[Mogamedogz]

Considering Revis and Willis are both gone by the time we pick, could Griffin be the BPA on the pats board?? I REALLY love Griffins game.

He is a nice mix of "intelligence", "aggressiveness", "versatility", and "leadership ability"; a proto-typical Bill Belichick DB.

Griffin is talented enough to make an immediate impact in our secondary. I think he would thrive under the tutelage of Harrison.

Like Rodney, he possesses a natural ability to recognize plays immediately, and is swift in pursuit of the action.

In addition to having solid coverage and “ball hawking” skills, he is also a tremendous Special Teams player, with a knack for blocking punts.


Check out his highlight reel... watch the "Heads up" play he makes @ :31 seconds into the video. -Griffin Link-

I'm just not shopping for a 200 lb. FS, especially in the first round. I like the 220 lb laddies who start showing up in the third round since I'm looking for another SS who can play FS, LB, maybe "big" CB because there are a couple of them too, and Special Teams. Griffin & Nelson sound like good kids, but they aren't what I hungry for - beef.

As long as you don't bring up Aaron Rouse we cool, lol!

i like merriweather, or griffin if we are going S.....id really like houston,revis....
btw where is hall supposed to go, there was alot of talk about him during the season but i havent heard much about his draft projections...

[Warren94]

I think he falls in the first round. Wouldn't mind Hall at all.

i think Landry would obviously be the best fit but 2nd would probably be Griffin. i wanna say Meriweather but people would get on me about his stomping incident so i wont bother

but take it away and Meriweather is a leader, smart player, playmaker, hard hitter, plays well against run and pass.

Griffin is a lesser playmaker but a better overall tackler than anyone but Landry and hes bigger than Meriweather-Nelson

Griffin looks like a heady player. He also looks to be an excellent ST gunner which would also improve that unit. So assuming that Willis does not drop to 24 nor does a stud cornerback drop to 24 then yes I could live with Griffin as the Pats 1st round choice. He would upgrade 2 units at once and I would never underestimate special teams in BB's eyes. Griffin also shows to be a solid tackler in almost all those plays. I know it's highlight clips but still the form looks good. Also the last play starting at 3:38 was pretty amazing because I had to rewind it to appreciate it. Griffin strips the ball first then still managed to catch the defender by the ankles for the tackle "just in case." I thought he had messed up the tackle and had to make a desperation ankle grab, but it seems to me that he must have stripped the ball before the tackle took place. Can someone take a look at this and confirm. Did he strip the ball first or did the ball come out as a result of the ankle tackle? Hmm I'm not sure now.

This scout has Griffin rated as more of a top of the 2nd round prospect.

Hrrm. I guess I still covet Reggie Nelson more.

Ran a 4.3 on his pro day!

I still like Merriweather myself but I realize that Griffin's ST play will push him up a lot in Belichick's mind.
