The Falcons would likely do it to get one of the top WR assuming they don't trade up for CJ. Getting Levi Brown and Meachem/Bowe would be quite a haul for them. Not so much for the Pats in my opinion:
- Harris is fine though I think you can do better at #24, potentially getting Harris as well later on.
- McCauley is interesting but there are serious questions about his production and commitment last year. Not someone I would want to count on potentially starting in 2008.
- I see Free at the 4th or 5th OT on the depth chart. You obviously see him as better than that so we can agree to disagree.
- Bush is a player I would love to see with one of the comp picks (gotta take someone) and plan to IR this year. SERIOUS health issues that have led to questions about weight and conditioning. No thanks at #91.
That being said, assuming your valuation of the players is better than mine, that draft would serve just fine. Would like to get a safety at some point, but you might have someone in mind later.
Instead of jumping back and picking up an extra 3rd, I would love to see a jump up from #24 and make a run at Revis if he makes it into the 16-19 range. GB likely wants Lynch but can probably get him at #24. Pats jump to #16 and get Revis and GB still gets Lynch. To do that the Pats swap #28 with #47 (maybe have to add a 6th as well). #47 is a little late for the 2nd round LB sweet spot, but Pats have other picks to move back up in the #40 range.
How about:
#16 Revis
#40 Harris
#91 Piscitelli/Wendling
If you think Harris is gone and Pats won't be able to trade back up to get him, how about:
#16 Revis
#40 Meriweather/Griffin
#91 DeOssie/Siler/Shaw
Getting Revis just makes the whole 1st day seem sweeter and calms some of the anxiety about Samuel/Gay/Wilson in 2008.
