Patriots Day Two Draft thread (Continued)

[Bostonian1962]

Year after year we are so pumped for our draft picks. And, year after year the man gets to the pick and trades down, then he trades down more, and then he trades down more. It's bizarre! He can't say NO to anybody! He prefers to have lesser talent from which to choose. Really, this is STRANGE!

"Hey Bill, have I got a deal for you. I have another chance for you to trade down even lower in the talent pool. You in?"

"I'll show everybody about accumulating picks. I'm in."

Mayock's voice is shot ahaha!

 

[tmracht]

I'm soo damn tired of this. WE ARE THE ONLY team who does this. What if Bill stopped trying to be a masterming, and actually drafted normally.

Well they weren't going to take 14 players, and getting a probable early 2nd for a late 3rd is pretty darn good value. We wouldn't have had 1 first, 3 2nds and 2 3rds if he didn't mastermind. If we draft normally we wouldn't have had half these picks. So I just don't get the frustration.

 

[T-cat]

sweet i wanted price i just didnt post it this time!

 

[IcyPatriot]

Hmmmm .... a WR with a MEH 3-cone ... oh well .. in Bill I trust.

 

[Run DMC]

3 white WR's? Does that strike anyone as a little strange?

 

[ausbacker]

Patriots kill the draft today and for next year and Pierce just hits the match winner to go 3-0 up! What a day.

 

[DaBruinz]

Damn, Taylor Price is no Mardy Gilyard, he better work on his hands.

His hands are supposedly one of the best things about his game besides his route running..

 

[PatsFanJess]

I would hate to play poker with Bill Belichick, the man is unreal at trading picks and not losing out.

That was my thought too. LOL

relax we got a 2nd next year which will be a high pick since it's carolina.

Taylor Price...anyone know anything on him?

 

[!CrimsonTide!]

Would have liked Gilyard over Price =/ but I like the trade picking up a 2nd next year.

 

[SoonerPatriot]

He needsa to collect more picks to trade away next year.

Exactly. Tune in this time next year when people will be griping that they're not using the picks, which they probably won't. There's almost ZERO chance they use both those first rounders.

 

[Urgent]

Taylor Price was on the top of my wish list.
Nice pick.
Played with a poor QB, but great skills.
He could be very good in the Pats system.
One of my favorite picks.

Concerned that there has been no DE, but happy with Day Two.

Price isn't white.

 

[borg]

Now we get to salivate over 4 picks in the top 2 rounds next year....get your mocks ready

 

[patsinthesnow]

Amazing draft only two minor problems.

1. Maroney is the starting runningback.

2. Who the hell is playing LDE?

 

[stevedogc]

traded 89 for a 2011 that couold be half that. In the mid 40's. highway robbery.

Are you completely dense? We get twice as many high picks as other teams. Belichick just turned moving five spots down in the first into a second round pick. We entered the draft with four picks in the first two rounds; we ended up STILL getting four picks in the first two rounds, plus a 2011 second, plus Taylor Price. Plus a move up six picks in the fourth.

I guess you'd rather have one pick in each round, since that's "normal."

Hold on...didn't the Pats just make three selections in the second round, all three being 'need' picks? Huh...going by your logic they'd have nothing but 5th and 6th rounders and yet they just made their 5th selection in 90 picks. Am I wrong?

 

[sg14]

I wish Teo made it to the Pats just to see if they wudda picked him,

Philly got two of the more interesting LBs,,,

Damned Eagles did it again, stole my Linebacker.
