I know the draft is 6 months away, but i wanna know what everyones opinion on who we will draft. Everyone keeps talking about trading down, but why not try to get Darren McFadden and trade Laurence Maroney to a team like the Packers who are in need of a proven RB.
Best Case Scenario:
1. We draft Darren McFadden with a top 5 pick.
2. Trade Laurence Maroney to the Packers for there First Round (20-31)
3. Draft CB Aqib Talib if the Patriots decide not to pursue Asante.
- If Asante stays, this draft pick would land us MLB Rey Maualuga replace our aging LB corps
4. If we dont get Rey, in the second round the patriots should get Vanderbilt MLB Jonathan Goff.
The only concerns i see for the Patriots next season are at CB (because of Asante) and our linebackers. The safety position is well in hand IMO with a young James Sanders waiting to replace Harrison, not to mention Merriweather who probably needs a few years to grow and learn.
I think Bruschi will be a F/A next year, but he will most likely retire or resign with the Patriots for a home town discount. Juniour Seau if the Patriots do win the superbowl will 99% likely to retire or graduate as he might say. This would fill a hole for a MLB and a Rey Maualuga/Goff would be a tremendous and somewhat realistic option.
I could see our Lineup like this:
DE: Seymour
NT: Wilfork
DE: Warren
OLB: Colvin
ILB: Rey Maualuga/Goff
ILB: Adalius Thomas
OLB: Mike Vrabel
CB: Samuel/Talib, Hobbs, Gay
S: Harrison, Sanders, Merriweather
QB: Brady
WR: Moss, Stallworth, Welker, Jackson
TE: Watson
RB: Darren McFadden, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk
