Loose your top 2 CB's. Get a WR. WR's are the answer to everything.

RB. Really? With Blount, Gray, Cadet, Bolden, White, Develin and Gaffey already on the roster? Another Madden/Fantasy dream.

Blount is suspended for the first game, Gray was benched down the stretch, Cadet is not an every down back, Bolden is a special teamer, White is on a milk carton, Develin is a full back with a low percentage of snaps, and Gaffney is an unknown that hasn't logged a meaningful snap in the pros. The team meanwhile lost Ridley and Vereen and it's not yet a sure thing how well Cadet will replace him in the Ehrhardt-Perkins. So yes, RB is a need too. You may want to log off for a little bit and collect your thoughts, bud.

You realize you're talking to a guy that has been pounding the table all weekend for a CB and has spent the day pounding the table for the Pats to draft Josh Shaw today, right? Are you sure you're fully comprehending what you're reading on here?

Our CB group has more talent than our RB group....

Here is my binky for the WR everyone covets:

http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2015/03/patriots_2015_nfl_draft_sleepe.html

Is he a 4th round reach or will he still be out there for the Pats immovable final 7th round compensation pick?

I understand that people get annoyed by the "WRs solve everything!!!" contingent, but that doesn't mean you've gotta treat every person who wants better WR depth like they are part of that contingent.

Adequate WR depth =/= trade for Larry Fitzgerald

Here is what we have in both groups...



The good news is that the Pats have the ammo to help both positions today.

WR Geremy Davis didn't drop a ball all year, Keistjan Sokoli is similar athletically to JJ Watt, BJ McBryde of UConn is a very athletic 5-tech type, DeAndre Smelter is an outstanding WR, Shaq Mason is an outstanding technician at OG with very quick feet, Tre McBride reminds me of Marvin Jones, Dexter McDonald is an extremely athletic CB that bottled up Kevin White, Ben Heeney had the best linebacker 3cone in a long time.

Some of the names that interest me today.

Realizing this requires the ability to think critically about the issue. I'm not so sure a few posters here have the ability to think in that capacity.

I'm convinced you're just trolling now

We have 4 TE's, 10 O-lineman, 14 D-lineman, 11 linebackers and 15 defensive backs already on the roster. What is the point of even drafting anymore?

Is there not much confidence in White? Haven't seen him out there much but seems like most of the board has him as a bust not sure if rightfully so or not don't know much of anything about him.

Thanks for this. I had completely forgotten about McDonald.

Our running backs are really mediocre.

Blount - A doobie from getting 4 games.

Gray - Needs an alarm clock. No wiggle

White - Joins the list of Wisconsin rb's who can't play in the NFL.

Bolden - Good backup and ST player

Gaffney - I like. But, don't want to count on.

Cadet - Glorified receiver.

I know. Very bizarre. But the guy is, by far, the most talented and multidimensional CB (can also play safety) left available and is a steal in the 4th, IMO.

Really? How'd the WR idea work out? Stop with the personal attacks. I predicted we wouldn't sign any big name WR's and we wouldn't use a high draft pick on one. That's what happened.

Yeah, I really wanted Abdullah. I think Blount could be a solid starting RB if we improved the OL. Rest of the group does not inspire confidence.

They need cover guys. I'm all for it. He messes up a 4th rounder is a small price to pay if he doesn't work out.

The crazy thing is, apart from that incident everything I've heard about Shaw's character is impeccable. He is supposed to be a highly respected leader, which makes that situation even more confusing.

Agreed. In the 4th round, very much worth the risk.
