So, last yr i was upset at some of the moves the pats made in the draft when it happened
i liked some of the moves and didnt like some others
while i was wrong some of the times, others maybe i wasnt
anyway here is what my first five rounds would have been last april (not now, not hindsight, what i would have done then) and how my draft looks now
pls paste yours on here too
1-manny lawson
personally i felt like we needed linebackers, and i voiced that opinion last yr big time, i wanted a rb too, but i felt linebacker was a huge need and that lawson was a great athlete and could become a true playmaker here, a couple months before the draft i reallly really wanted deangelo williams, maroney, or addai, but im not gonna sit here and lie to you, the day before the draft i wanted lawson or one of the other first rd lbers, and i felt like lawson could fit nicely as a weakside lber in our system
06 stats: 48 solo tackles, 9 assisted, 57 total, 2.5 sacks, 1 int, 2 pass deflections
pats pick-maroney
pats win this one
2-(i would not have traded up, and would have kept the pick they gave to the packers) GREG JENNINGS
i LOVED this guy
i mean i basically had a man crush on this guys game
you can check the archives, i talked about this guy like it was my job
06 stats: 45 rec, 632 yds, 14.0 avg, 3 tds, 5 punt ret-29 yds
AND, he had a bad ankle sprain for half the season that totally slowed him down, when i watched this guy last yr i said his game reminded me of jerry rice's, im not saying he'd be as good, jus a similar style
pats pick-extra third and this for chad jackson, i win this one pretty big (for now), especially when you see who my third rd pick was
3-(again this is the one they traded for chad jackson)
jerrious norwood
at first i wanted a back with the first round pick as i explained, then when we let willie go that changed a little and i started looking at guys that would be there in the rds from 3-5, two guys i liked were norwood and jerome harrison, but i loved norwood's big play ability
06 stats: 99 carries, 633 yds, 6.4 AVG!!!!, 2tds, 12 rec, 102 yds
again, i win this one as i took norwood and jennings as opposed to pats taking chad jack (again guys this is as of now, i know that chad jackson could become an amazing nfl receiver, but as of now he hasnt done much, and jennings has done a ton more, i know thats not to say he woulda done that with us, this is just for fun)
3-ko simpson
i wanted a safety last yr badly as geno's game has declined a lot
i liked simpson, especially at this spot
06 stats: 51 solo, 26 ast, 77 total tackles, 1 sack, 2 ints, 4 pds, 1 forced fumble
pats pick-david thomas
it looks as though i maybe won this one slightly, but i like thomas now, so id call it a wash
4-gabe watson
i was so shocked this guy fell this far, and going into day two i said we had to take him just because
because we dont really have a great backup for wilfork
and because he shouldve gone higher
and because hes from michigan and i love those guys
06 stats: 12 solo, 4 ast, 16 total, 1 sack
pats pick-garret mills
undecided, since mills didnt play
although with pass prob gone this might end up bein a great pick by the pats
4-MARK ANDERSON
another guy like greg jennings
if you look to the archives you'll see that i was crazy about this guy
originally i wanted him in the third
but then going into the draft i saw he'd prob fall a lil
and here we didnt even need to take him
couldve waited to the fifth
but last april i would not have waited
i woulndt have waited one second into the time
i wouldve made the call as soon as we were on the clock
cuz i loved this guy
06 stats: 23 solo, 5 ast, 28 total tackles, 12 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 2 pd
pats pick: gostkowski
well, i really like gostkowski now, but they might have been able to get him with their next pick
either way anderson would have been a great pick here
although, he is a de with da bears, wouldve been an olb with us, so maybe he wouldnt have done as well
still, he has played very well this yr for a fifth rder
lets say me and the pats both win with these picks
5-parys haralson
i know, i know
another linebackeer
but i really liked this guy, and just would not have been able to see him go by me
i promise i wouldve stopped with the linebackers after this, and taken a kicker after
(and, if i hadnt taken haralson, i wouldve taken pat watkins, another guy i liked)
06 stats: 4 solo, thats it!
(06 stats for watkins: 30 solo, 8 ast, 38 total tackles, 3 int, 7 pd, 2 forced fumbles)
pats pick: ocallaghan
pats win this one
although had i taken watkins, who i wouldve considered it would prob be a wash
overall first five rounds:
rb-maroney vs norwood (pats win, but not by as much as you think)
linebacker-nobody vs lawson, anderson, haralson (i win HUGE in this one)
te-thomas vs nobody (pats obv win pretty big, even though i kinda wanted a te i didnt find one in the right spot)
fb/te-mills vs nobody (again pats win)
ot-ocallaghan vs nobody (pats win)
wr-chad jack vs jennings (i win pretty big-for now)
s-nobody vs simpson (i win)
dt-nobody vs watson (i win, barely)
k-gost vs nobody (pats win huge)
so, wadya think
and anyone got one of their own?
