Who would you rather?? draft edition

[midwestpatsfan]

Okay, a couple of scenarios that I wanted to see which one you liked better for the patriots.
17. Ryan Kerrigan-OLB
28. Cameron Hayward-DE
33. Rahim Moore, Safety
61. Ben Ijiliana, G/T

or
17. J.J. Watt-DE
28. Anthony Castonzo-OT
33. Akeem Ayers, OLB
51. Ras-I Dowling, CB

I'd jump up and down at #2 if you could substitute any one of a dozen players for Akeem Ayers.

 

[dryheat44]

The #33 pick is extremely weak in both scenarios. So the question of which would I rather comes down to the other three players. I'll take #1 without hesitation.

Including "a third-round pick in 2011 and a first-rounder in 2012"?

17. J.J. Watt-DE
28. Anthony Castonzo-OT
33. Akeem Ayers, OLB
51. Ras-I Dowling, CB

Guess I'd rather some kind of mash-up of the two:

17. Watt (though he probably won't be there)
28. OT - yer cherce
33. Heyward
60. OLB (Reed, Acho, Sheard, Romeus, whoever)
74. OG - yer cherce
92. CB or RB or WR

Yeah, he's pretty good!

 

[Dufflebagz]

I don't really like either of them....if one of them didn't have DB it would probably be easier to decide but I'll go with #1.

I'd rather the Pats take Richard Sherman and develop him behind Meriweather/Chung/Sanders than take Moore.

I'd prefer Watt and Jordan over Heyward. I prefer Kerrigan over Ayers. I honestly feel that Castonzo is going to be a mediocre RT in the NFL. I have no interest in Dowling or any CB before the 4th round.

I honestly feel that Castonzo is going to be a mediocre RT in the NFL.

Why?

Is it becuase he is a horrible run blocker that gets little if any push at the snap of the ball on running plays?

 

[Off The Grid]

I'd jump up and down at #2 if you could substitute any one of a dozen players for Akeem Ayers.

Hah!! NICELY played, sir!! :rocker:

Amongst other things.. Not to mention that, in the Senior Bowl, he was a sieve.

 

[midwestpatsfan]

Are people envisioning Watt as an OLB candidate? I guess I would not understand taking both Watt and Heyward at 17 and 33 like suggested since they seem to be the same player.
The reason I added Moore at 33 is that I was thinking Merriweather is better than 50/50 of being gone I think leaving no real rangy FS on the roster. Chung, Sanders, and McGowan seem more like the SS type.

(A) They are basically the same size, and neither seems a logical OLB.

(B) Meriweather may be better than 50/50 gone after 2011, but certainly not before the season.

I agree. I would note that neither Watt or Costonzo is likely to be available when we pick. So mny have us drafting Castonzo at 17.

I'd jump up and down at #2 if you could substitute any one of a dozen players for Akeem Ayers.
