woohoo!!! Enjoy!
*picks are projected based on where i think the teams will finish the season.
Acquired Picks:
Round 1 #20 - Detroit trades their 1st round pick acquired from Dallas in the Roy Williams trade for QB Matt Cassel.
Round 2 #42 - Patriots receive San Diegos 2nd round pick for picking FB Jacob Hester last year with the Pats 3rd rounder.
Round 3 #97 - Patriots receive a 3rd round compensatory pick for losing Asante Samuel to free agency.
Projected Patriots draft picks through 3 rounds:
Round 1 #20 (from DET)
Round 1 #25 (pats pick)
Round 2 #42 (from SD)
Round 2 #57 (pats pick)
Round 3 #92 (pats pick)
Round 3 #97 (comp pick for Samuel)
Patriots draft with trades:
Round 1 #12 - Rey Maualuga ILB USC
* Pats trade up in round 1 using their 2nd round pick #57 to select the best player in this draft ILB Rey Maualuga. Teaming Maualuga inside with Mayo would be devastating to opposing teams. With Bruschi finished its almost a no brainer, draft Maualuga to play inside on the strongside with Mayo opposite him on the weakside.
Round 1 #25 - Mike Mickens CB Cincinnati
* We need corners desperately, a #1 shutdown corner would be nice but we're not getting that this draft. Mickens is a darn good solid CB that is physical and good in coverage, we could really use him.
Round 2 #42 - Chad Johnson WR Cincinnati Bengals
* There is no question Chad Johnson is going to get traded this offseason and be out of Cincy, we have to bounce on that. It would make our WR core more leathal than it already is, Moss needs someone opposite him that can pull double coverage off him, and Johnson could do that. I believe Johnson would like to get out of Cincy no matter what, but what he really wants is to win at this stage of his career, and BB seems to like Chad, im sure he would LOVE to come here. I think this is a good value of a pick to give for Johnson, i dont think anyone will give a 1st rounder its just to risky with his well known antics, but theres no way in heck hes going to come cheep either. I high 2nd round pick seems fair to me.
Round 2 #57 - *TRADED*
* This pick was traded to move up in round one to select Maualuga.
Round 3 #92 - Alex Boone OT Ohio State
* We need depth on the oline Boone would be a nice pickup.
Round 3 #97 - Domonique Johnson CB Jackson State
* He is drawing comparisons to Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, 6-2 200 pounds with sub 4.35 40 yard dash, and from a small school. We could use a taller corner in our midget army.
You are off in fantasy land again...
