I understand the Patriot way and I like the Solder pick, but seeing Wilkerson and Heyward go at the end of the round wasn't a lot of fun.
That said, BIG day Friday. All starts at 6 p.m. -- rounds two and three. As great as the McCourty picked turned out, a lot of what made the '10 draft so special happened on day two.
And for all those complaining about the Pats stockpiling picks that they never use: 12 picks in 09, 12 picks in 10, and on track still to make nine (I believe) picks this year.
OL was a need and it was filled. BB and co have good record with OL's so I will defer to them.
Only thing that doesn't make sense is the trade w/ NO at 28. Wouldn't it make more sense to draft at 28 and deal 33 for a 1 to a team looking to draft daulton/mallet. Chances are that draft pick would be better than the NO one. Also, you get a better player at 28 than 33.
Who still needs a QB? Remember that Buffalo and Cincinnati both need QBs, and are picking 34 and 35. . . .
i say it was ok... Light is geting up there in age the pats may not want to give him 5 or 6 million but all of the top DE's are off the bord now yes they still have there choice of OLB/ pass rushers and 3 picks on day two but i just dont see BB Drafting a OLB
Massive fail. We lost 2 years of Seymour for a developmental OT. We should have come away with two great players today and we end up with a single maybe. When will Bill pull the trigger and go grab the blue chip guy, when Brady is 40?
Here we sit, and still have no pass rush, and medicocre running backs by committee.
The solder pick not only improves the line but also improves Brady's options in the red area. Having Solder as an eligible receiver in goal line situations is huge. Our big set just got bigger.
I like the trade also. I think we still can get 1 more 1st for next year. We can get a pass rusher in the 2nd and RB in the 3rd.
My only disappointment is that Wilkerson is going to the Jest. This feels like a pick-6. Interestingly, Da’Quan Bowers (knee) still available. I also like Leshoure and Sheard.
