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.

Everyone does dumb things and makes bad decisions in their youth. I'd be OK if they took him.

Let's get this draft going already!!!!!!

Obvious positions for Day 3

Top tier

• OL who project to guard.
• Speedy LB.
  
• CB and RB at least for camp competition.

Also quite plausible

• Long snapper if there's one good enough.
• TE because BB gets withdrawal pangs if he doesn't draft any.
• Kicker only if it's a super-late pick (Robbie Gould was a UDFA, I'm pretty sure.)

After that it's BPA.

Anything else, or have I pretty much exhausted the list of roster categories?

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.

1. The team doesn't have to take a WR high in this draft as they need depth and position is deep.

2. The team tried to sign a big name WR and got outbid.

3. That's not a personal attack. You calling me a Madden/Fantasy whore was. But it's cool.

Won't be shocked if it's Grady Jarrett or Michael Bennett. Two best players on our board probably.

I don't know if I could fully get behind another DT selection but I couldn't bring myself to get pissed if the team selects either of those two guys. Both would be beasts.

His coaches and teammates certainly went very far out of their way to vouch for him after that incident. I'd love to see him rocking a Flying Elvis.

Schefter on SportsCenter just said he believes La'el Collins will be drafted today and likely early.

Twitter question......which reporter has been tweeting the best pats coverage/preannouncing Pats picks

Easley can play de too. One of Manx's binkies could be in play too. Marcus Hardison.

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?

But we only have 3 QB's! I'm kidding but we have great depth at WR and RB. We could use some more infusion on the OL and DL, especially LB.

That and I don't think we use 7 draft picks today. I think we pick up some late ones for next year. Just a hunch.

CB, OG, RB, and WR. CB and OG have less quality depth available than RB and WR. I'd like to see them pick Josh Shaw with their first pick today.

Hoping the Pats call at least 1 of these names:

Rashad Greene, Justin Hardy, Josh Shaw, Dexter McDonald, La'el Collins*, TJ Clemmings, Tre Jackson, Michael Bennett,

With him being down to 260lbs I think he will be spending a lot of time at DE and moving inside on obvious passing downs. I would love Jarrett or Bennett as a 3-tech, the value is great at this stage

Might see a trade for an NFL vet if what they want isn't interesting to what is available.

That will suck if Tampa takes him just before BB gets a shot at him.

We have Tampa's pick. If we are planning on taking Collins its only the Titans in the way

You're right on #3. That was out of line. I apologize.

I just get a bit disjointed with the WR fantasy wish list scenario. Would I love it if we got another Randy Moss? You bet you're ***. He was a once in a lifetime treat for us.

If we get a guy like that today I will bow down and worship your greatness.

I pray to be wrong. History tells me different, but I never thought I'd be a fan of a 4x SB Champion either.

What the hell do I know?

@MikeReiss: Patriots thoughts as we kick off draft Day 3: After 3 defensive picks, time for offense? Long snapper could be targeted too. #NEpick

Long snapper time!
