for all teams. The Jets made the best of the situation by taking most of
their picks and trading up to get two good players. In retrospect, too bad
we couldn't have dumped off even more picks. Most of the guys we
drafted were very raw talent so maybe we can salvage most of them for
the practice squad.
i would think with 6 DL...that is where a pickup could be...maybe also linebacker..
Rivers is a surprise ONLY because he played solidly (but for the fumble..) as well as Wesley who I thought played really good..better than James..
You have to remember that we got Merriweather and Moss with our first two picks
This may sound like a stupid question but what is the status of Chad Jackson and Troy Brown?? I didn't see them IR'ed or PUP'd........
They were placed on PUP last week.
they were all low garbage picks that most other teams didnt value, so we had no trading partners plus there were i think 4 comp picks and you cant trade them, i think the pats treated those draft picks like undrafted fee agent training camp fodderIt's pretty obvious from today's cuts that the 2007 draft was a real bummer

Thanks, I have a feeling that there may be a rash of injuries necessitating IR for a few players between weeks 6-9...............
By my count 3 rookies made the team (not counting IR), Meriweather, K. Brown and Guttierez. I wonder when the last team so few rookies made not only the Pats, but any team.....
Even so with newcomers A. Thomas, Welker,Washington, Moss, Stallworth, S. Morris, K. Brady and the rookies they overhauled about 20%
of the roster which I think is par for a BB team.
take a bow LeKevin.
you are the man
maybe Samuel will not be ready so they need James..
Note to John: Who do you have developing on the Practice Squad?I am aure I am not adding anything new but I was quite surprised to see Guiterrez make the grade. I know he showed ok in pre-season against 3rd and 4th stringers but the NFL is about winning. Not sure he was worth the roster spot.
Other comments
8 LBs and 6 are over 30, seems like a low number
6 DL - seems low, I guess Wright is ready to go which is good news
6 WR - Depending on Moss' health this seems like too many
But what the hell do I know? Time to build the PS squad and crush the Jets.
EDIT - At the time I thought 3 OL in the draft was an awful lot, I was right. Memo to BB, DryHeat, BOX, DaBruinz, PatChick, Ochmen (plus others) and I will build your draft board and handle the warroom. You can take April off and do some sailing.
