Rip away, my friends
It's one thing drafting a LB that ran a 5 whatever 40 like Spikes did. As much as I like Black and respect his dedication to football 4.80 is pretty slow no matter how good or smart you are. I wish him the best, but with a second-rounder in 2012 likely to be available with 3b, why take a risk when you may be able to get him in the 5th or 6th?
Say no to Costanzo. Drafting right tackles who struggle at the Senior Bowl with the 17th pick isn't ideal to me. 28? Ok.
Fixed that for you.

You're not normally going to find even one team willing to fork over a future #2 for a low third-rounder, much less three teams. Last year's deal with Carolina was really an anomaly.
Ah, you might be surprised! BB has traded a 3rd for a future 2nd 3 years in a row now! Twice it was the low #89; the one time it was a higher 3rd (#69) they picked up a 5th in the same year's draft in addition.
#17- OT, Anthony Castonzo: Typical Patriots pick, local product, had a great combine but this pick does depend on whether or not they can or want to resign Light but the Patriots usually pick a player like this who has not been connected that much to them
#28- DE/LB, Brooks Reed: They could go with Justin Houston here but I think Brooks Reed fits with them better and is the better player. The Patriots need to come out of this draft with at least one pass rusher. Brooks Reed might be considered by some as a reach here, but he had a great combine and the Patriots are known for reaching for some players. Reed fits what the Patriots are looking for, He loves to play the game, has a great motor, and can be a playmaker. It's exactly what the doctor ordered.
#33- DE/DT, Cameron Heyward: A lot of people may not think he will fall this far, but there are so many 3-4 defensive end prospects in this years draft that it's possible. Cameron Jordan, JJ Watt and Muhammed Wilkerson are all thought of higher than Heyward. The fact that he is coming off surgery may push him further down in the draft. The Patriots need to punce on him if he's available at 33. He measured in at the combine at 6'5" and 294 lbs., perfect size for a patriots end
#60- WR, Tandon Doss: Some may say that Doss won't fall this far either but like Heyward there are many more superior WR Prospects in a deep draft for wideouts this year. The only concern may be that at #38 for Cleveland, they would jump on Doss if he's there but the Patriots have a surplus of draft picks this year and could jump ahead of Cleveland if they are really high on Doss. Doss fits what the Patriots need, a bigger receiver (6'2", 201 lbs.), runs good routes, can go deep and has the ability to become a potential go to receiver.
#76- OG, Danny Watkins: Logan Mankins insurance but can also compete with Dan Connelly at the other guard. Watkins Plays with a mean streak and can start from day one on the line. I believe he can definately be the superior player to Connelly. Another Patriots type pick.
#92- S, Ahmad Black: Bill Belichick will come out of this draft with at least one Florida player. Ahmad Black didn't really impress anybody in the combine but neither did Brandon Spikes and the Patriots took him in the second round when Spikes was projected to go in the 3rd-4th round. Black is the type of player the Patriots take and this point, He has great character and was a playermaker at Florida. I also think the Patriots have really soured on Meriweather and with him being in the final year of his contract, they have to have a backup plan.
I think Doss will be more of a developmental guy and they will still sign a receiver in free agency, possibly Mike Sims-Walker. As far as Black's speed goes, speed isn't everything. I bet you Bethel Johnson would kill Larry Fitzgerald in a footrace, doesn't make him a better receiver.A lot of work here. I appreciate your effort. I like many of those. I think Watkins is #32 to the Packers. He is rocketing up. Won't last where you have him. Wish he would.
Black is small and way slow. At a 4.76 40 your better off with Reed as a CB.
Doss is a possession receiver. Very pedestrian speed. We need bigger and faster. There really is no one there that deep in the Draft. I think you go FA.
