The wind is howling, the snow is fresh and swirling with more on the way, the plow/sander just rumbled past up the hill and will be headed back down in a moment, and the school bus just started bringing home the neighbor's kids an hour early. Given all that, it must be Monday and time for another exciting adventure in draft divination. Welcome to week three of draft board building where the schedule says it's not only time to talk Tackles, but you get to be Offensive too.
For those coming in late, or folks wishing to admire the gritty thoughts of our participants, here's a look back to previous discussions:
Week 1 OC/OG: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/showthread.php?t=51105
Week 2 DL: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/showthread.php?t=51395
For comparison's sake, here are the tackles currently carried on the Patriots' roster: http://www.patriots.com/team/index.cfm?ac=Rosters&Print=yes.
#65 Wesley Britt 6-8 320
#76 Sean Bubin 6-6 305
#77 Nick Kaczur 6-4 315
#72 Matt Light 6-4 305
#70 Logan Mankins 6-4 310
#68 Ryan O'Callaghan 6-7 330
Those confused by Logan Mankins are reminded that (a) he was a college LT, and (b) he took LT reps in 2005's injury merry-go-round. O'Callaghan is the only college RT on the list, all the others played on their QB's blind side. BB's drafting of O'C last year caught one or two of us offguard with his acquisition of a roadgrader-type OL, the sneaky bastich. Anyway, there they are, the ballet dancers of the edge, wondering whom you might like to join their club.
