The Official Rounds 2&3 2013 NFL Draft Thread

[BradyFTW!]

Again, are you going to sit Hightower, or Mayo? Have you heard that the team is going back to the 3-4?

I hope that this move was made with an eye toward running a lot of hybrid fronts and frequently playing Mayo at mike and either sitting Spikes or letting him leave in FA.

From that perspective, I guess a need was addressed, although who knows if it'll actually be fixed. Not thrilled about the pick, but I don't totally hate it.

While Dobson is big and reasonably fast (4.55), he is not a huge YPC guy. 15.7, 13.6, 11.9 in 2010-12 with Marshall.

Well, I was hoping for a Boldin-sized receiver. There you go. So far so good. Thank you Vikings for the extra picks!

 

[ausbacker]

Fans get their big receiver. Now get Wheaton/Patton/Swope.

A double dip with any one of those 3 manx and I would consider this draft a raging success.

 

[English Patriot]

I'm calling it now y'all - Matt Barkley will be our 91st pick. This guy sitting behind Brady will be a force in a few years time.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

I love that freakin pick ... cant go wrong with Marshall

 

[patchick]

I'll be glad to join in the tears once Wheaton and Dobson are gone, but not until then!

...:singing:...

 

[50-yard-line]

Hell yeah, I actually like Dobson. That pick makes up for at least some of the crapfest up to this point.

How would you have reacted if they took Dobson at #29?

 

[TruthSeeker]

LOVE the Dobson pick, that one guy here who claimed the Pats loved Dobson, kudos ! 6'3" 205 ran a 4.42 and 4.44 at his Pro Day, this kid has GREAT hands, and runs sharp routes. Hopefully Da'Rick Rogers or Ryan Swope (a guy I hear the Pats LOVE) with one of the 3rd round picks.

Pro Day in the snow, caught everything.

No, just no.

Noodle arm would not be a good selection at all.

 

[patsfan13]

Well we now know that BB/Caserio had Dobson rated about Wheaton or Allen.

Barkley is a spud. I want no part of him.

If that where to happen it would be my favorite ever Pats pick. Seriously, I love that kid.

Lindy's Sport ranks Dobson with the best hands in the draft. Looking at his highlight reel, he brings some spectacular catching ability.

 

[upstater1]

The Pats' offense was by FAR the best in the league last year. They were 4.5 points per game better than the #2 offense (Denver). Their problem was defense - specifically, pass defense. And even more specifically, the pass rush.

They just added a dynamic edge rusher. You'd think that would normally make us fans happy.

Welker and Lloyd are gone. Amendola is often hurt. Against the Ravens, they scored 14 points. At home.

 

[doesntmatter1]

Dobson=nice

 

[English Patriot]

Tyrann Mathieu and Barkley in the 3rd. That bold enough for ya?

 

[ROHAN KLEMM]

Dobson - More upside than Allen, I guess. I still like. Big and Fast. So far I'm lovin that trade yesterday. We have drafted Round appropriate players. Please no Tavon Wilson reaches. One of Franklin, Allen, or A & M Moore would make a nice round 3. I don't think we will get any, should be long gone.
