1) so do season's 2012-2022, which I still plan on being a Patriot fan and I'd prefer to be one on teams that resemble the 2000's and not the 1990's
2) Yeah, but only 1 here.
3) Given....... Lets revisit this thread in 2011 and see who's right. Deal?
4) Your willing to bet that Seymour's 2009 impact is greater then player x's impact for the 5-10 years that player will be here.
Let me refresh BB's 1st round history
2008 - Mayo (
10th)
2007 - Merriweather (24th)
2006 - Maroney (21st)
2005 - Mankins (31st)
2004 - Wilfork (21st), Watson (32nd)
2003 - Ty Warren (
13th)
2002 - Dan Graham (21st)
2001 - Seymour (
6th)
Now go ahead and tell us again (with the straight face - Not just Deus..... Anyone actually) that Seymour's 2009 production will MATCH the CAREER HISTORY'S of anyone of the players on that list. Again 1 29 y/o Seymour year vs. the Career impacts of any of those above for the patriots, particularly the ones in red (top-15 picks, which the Raiders pick project's to be).
Even if we GIVE you Maroney
, that's still 89% success. Pretty Dam good odds.
