Too bad we can't trade players. Give Al Tate's 40 time and get the raiders next 6 years worth of 1st round picks.

I'd like to see Ellis and Hankerson 56 and 60

Allen Bailey, Clint Boling, Sam Acho, or Greg Romeus?

Ah, well....

I feel like I've been waiting 2 hours for the Pats to pick again......oh, wait....

Maybe Dontay Moch. Could be a 10 year specials teams ace as Box mentioned.

I swear I'm gonna go nutz if they trade that pick lol.

Right now they're discussing Mallet maybe dropping into the 4th 5th round. They said that he can be like a matt cassel and go to a team that doesn't need a qb. I say go for it with one of the 3rds.

Acho is a dud IMO.

I don't seen Bailey as a scheme fit. I think we go with an OG Boling or Rackley.

Quite a few guys that have been linked to the Pats (some as early as for the first round) are still on the board with 56 coming up.

Houston, Bailey, Acho, Paea, and Austin were considered good front 7 candidates for us pre-draft. Which probably means we'll pick someone else, but still.

So what are we thinking of here, I say TE or maybe Safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!or maybe the Pats could trade down and get some of those excellent pass rushers that apparently you can only find in the 5th round.

Oh wait, Mallett is still on the board, here's the pick.

Lets hear it for Syracuse grad and Ayer Mass native, Joe Morris!!!!!!!

I'm fine with the draft so far. Belichick wanted the 2012 1st badly. Passing on Reed, Wilkerson, and Heyward was tough for me to watch.

We need OL help Solder is a fine player.

Dowling is another stud. I had Williams higher, but I am fine with Dowling.

We need to get an OG out of the next two. Obviously, I would be fine with Bailey.

A few players still available to consider with the Pats next pick:

WR Hankerson
RB LeShoure
DE Bailey
G Rackley

Jays52, how do you like how the draft is unfolding so far?

I really like it. I really like the Solder pick, think they fleeced NO, and love the Dowling choice. They've got very solid Patriots style players at solid value positions. They also have adressed the more subtle but very relevant needs. I wasn't high on the OLB class, so I don't have any issues with not going backer. I would have liked to have seen a moveup for Watt but I really can't complain.

I'm looking for a guard and a back coming soon. This is also a nice spot in the draft for an outside receiver.

I don't understand why Houston hasn't been taken yet. Maybe his ratings are inflated. But if he makes it 3 more picks, I really hope we grab him.

Dufflebagz said:

Hmmmmm.....couldn't we have got Dowling later?

What he said....

I like bot h Boling and Rackley, but I'd rather we drafted Hudson.
