Please post all of your pre, post and during the draft comments and discussions for the Patriots draft on this thread.
This will save a whole lot of merging.
Let's all hope that the draft goes exactly the way I want it to go.
Happy Draft Day!
Draft day starts tomorrow. Pats trade DOWN in a deep draft. 100%
I believe there's been a thread posted in the Draft room (page one) that says trading out of the first round is EXTREMELY rare under Belichick. He's only done it four times in all of his years as a head coach and, on one of those occasions, only had to because the team gave up a first round pick to the Jets in order to get him as a head coach.

If Odrick is available when we pick, I sincerely hope we take him. Either him or Brandon Graham. I really like Golden Tate as well. He can line up split wide, in the slot, or out of the backfield. He's bright, has played in a similar system before, and is quick. He needs to work on his route running but the kinks can be worked out through the course of the year. At TE, I would like to see Pitta (though I think Indy might grab him) or Gresham, but I doubt we're going TE in the first round.
Though I doubt that many, if any at all, of my picks are going to get drafted (they didn't last year), I hope this draft ends up as well as the 2009 draft did.
Why not use the Green Bay conservative approach and use all the picks. This would be a great way to offset all of the flashy additions made by the Jets and Miami. If we could grab 4 of the top 53 players in this deep draft, it might be a watershed year for us and allow us to build from within rather than signing "older" and flashier players like the Jets and Dolphins. I wish they would quit worrying so much about how to trade around the darn draft and start adding some playmakers to this team. We already have 2 #1's next year and could parlay that into more picks next year. Lets go out and grab at least 3 quality players in the next 2 days and get some young playmakers on this team and worry about today rather than tommorow before we slide back to the middle of the AFC pack.
You really like Odrick, eh?
I love Brandon Graham and Golden Tate, though.
Yes. I honestly believe he's the best 3-4 DE in the draft and should be fully capable of filling the hole at DE left by the trade of Seymour.
