Lazy-Man's Method For Guessing Patriot's 1st 3 Picks.
It's the IT IS WHAT IT IS method.
Get a somewhat consensus list of the top-100 players. Every name mentioned as a Patriot's pick in a draft site mock will be crossed off the list. The remaining players will be fair game....I will choose from them.:rolleyes: Just for fun....thought I'd give it a try...when was the last time any of these guys ever got even 1 of our top 3 picks right?:bricks: |
You just might be on to something here....it's as good an angle as I've heard yet. Last year I jotted down over 30 names that had been bandied about as "good" candidates the Pats might draft. You guessed it....not one on my list was picked by BB & co.....:)

Actually last year Logan Mankins was a pick by one of the larger Draft coverage providers.. I forget who but I do remember people where saying " The patriots don't draft guards and LB with the 1st pick".. To funny..
|
I probably said it! Fact is BB didin't draft a Guard. He drafted a LT that projected as an OG. The first time he played OG was at the Senior Bowl!
|
The #21 pick will be a kicker from Ball State, Indiana. I predict. :rocker:
|
Belichick has no actual pattern. People shouldn't try to read into things. Just because he HASN'T done something does not mean he won't.
|
I think Ty Warren was a predictable pick.
There was speculation about trading up for DL, or getting Sullivan, but when they stayed, (and bumped up a notch or two), Warren was the DL available and they took him. |
Seymour was a predicted pick. Wilfork was a predicted pick. Many even had Watson the week before the draft.
Many of last year's draft choices were in the value lists developed here and at kffl. |

There may have been a few (very few) who picked Watson, but given that the Pats just a year earlier had selected Graham with it's first pick, Watson, before the draft, as a first rounder by the Pats was not a consensus choice by the pigskin prognosticators. If you can point me to sources (note the plural!) that confirm what you've said, you'll have made a believer out of me. :) |
