Hmmm. The more I think about this draft, the more I am coming around to it.
Great Blue North Draft Report
Patriots Picks:
No. 11 (Through Houston) Cameron Jordan DE (Pats trade No. 17 and No. 60)
No. 33 Mike LeShoure RB
No. 35 (Through Cincinnati) Jon Baldwin WR (Patriots trade No. 28 and receive No. 35 and a 4th rounder)
No. 74 Dontay Moch LB
No. 92 Will Rackley G/T
I think this mock is realistic (precombine) in terms of where players come off the board. Interestingly, KC grabs Justin Houston OLB at 27, perhaps prompting the Pats trade down from 28. Cincy grabs Pouncey at 28.
Though I think many will be disappointed with RB and WR at the top of the 2nd round, I think the Pats get good value with these picks. I think I am guilty of over-valuing the OL in this draft because of our need, and I am prone to want to reach in the 1st or 2nd on these positions.
Yes one can argue that there is no need to take an RB that high, and I would agree, but its hard to argue that LeShoure doesn't deserve a late first or high 2nd round grade. I haven't paid much attention to WRs in the draft, but Titus Young and Hankerson are also available instead of Baldwin, if that floats your boat.
The more I think about Dontay Moch OLB in the 3rd round, the more I am coming around to this idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gtsE4RxIt4&feature=related If Moch and Rackley are 3rd round gems (I know that's a big if), then I think this could be an epic draft. I'd also like to take OG/OT Boling and/or OG/C Moffit in the 4th.
