I'll attempt to take an amateur stab at the Patriots 2015 draft order now that week 8 is here and the trade deadline has come and gone.
Here is what I've gathered from various reports and information:
Our Draft Lineup:
1:#32 (ya, I know) assigned
2: Assigned
3: Assigned
3: Compensatory (Talib)
4: Assigned
4: From TB (Mankins)
6: From TB (Casillas)
6: Comp (I'll try to explain)
7: From Tenn (Ayers)
Assigned picks traded away:
5: TB (Casillas)
6: Tenn (Ayers)
7: STL (Salas)?
I would project the TB and Tenn picks to be top 3-8 in those rounds. Miguel projected us getting a 6th round Comp as well as the 3rd in an Aug. 26th tweet. I'm skeptical about that 6th. Revis was released and Talib signed with the Bronc-Ho's so I think a 3 is a lock. As far as another comp I think our major signings cancel out our losses. The super secretive Comp formula is a conundrum, but I've followed it for years and have a basic understanding. I think everyone was surprised last year when we we're awarded an unexpected 4th. AdamJT13 was someone who consistently got 24-26 out of the 32 awarded right for about a decade. My belief is human factor is a wrench in the formula.
In 2014 we lost, along with Talib, these players:
Spikes (BUF) 1 year 3 mil
Blount (PIT) 2 years 3.85 mil
Fletcher (TB) 1 year 1.2 mil
We signed these players:
Browner (SEA) 3 year 15.15 mil
Lafell (CAR) 3 year 9 mil
Chung (PHI) 1 year 1.1 mil
I know M. Mulligan signed with Chicago and was released after 2 games and W. Svitek signed with Cinncinatti but I don't think there price tag or playing time will factor in. I may be be missing something or someone that would factor in and any additional information would be welcome.
I am by no means an authority, the more knowledge offered would be welcome. If I made a mistake please point it out with respect. I'm just a curious fan who looks forward to the draft now that we've begun to reach a point to discuss it with reasonable facts. I look forward to the updates from you college ball junkies to let me know who the diamonds in the rough are!
