I mentioned a trade (Ocho) and FA signings (Lloyd and JAGs that include but are not limited to Gafney, Stalworth, Galloway, an old Branch, etc.) but thanks for pointing out that drafting is not the only way to stock up.
Again, what we've invested in the receiver position over 4 years doesnt...
I was all in for Rogers and Wheaton, too. Would mock at least one of em, usually both. Had Rogers in the 3rd.. good thing I'm not a GM. Just thought the size and explosion were something the Pats were lacking.
Also really liked Maliciah Goodman and Kawann Short. Any word?
TE- drafted the best TE in football and a (once was) top 5 tight end in the same draft.. 1 year. Dont know how you can claim it took several years.
Seeing as how, since 2009, we've drafted 2 late 3rd round WRs, traded a 5th and 6th for Ocho, 2 7th rounders for Edelman and Ebert, signed Lloyd on...
If by small sized CB you mean third biggest corner on our team behind Talib and Ras-I, who may or may not even be on the 53.
He may have been a bit lost as he was primarily a zone corner in college thrust on to the first team defense in an entirely different press man scheme.
LR is...

This is why you are a great poster.
This is why you arent a great poster.
This site needs more contributors like Manx, Mayo Clinic (wherever he is), along with quite a few others.
*EDIT: not to just call DI out, every thread ends in...
I havent posted here in a while, Ive been reading a lot about the TC but I had to jump in this thread.
Since when are first rounds "a given?" Many GMs have lost their jobs for not delivering on first round picks. Hell, people have blew the #1 overall pick PLENTY of times. And while BB has never...
Patterson at 9, Tavon at 22, Allen at 23 and Terrance Williams at 27... I would jump on Justin Hunter at 29 without hesitation.
Unfortunately, I think he will be the 2nd or maybe 3rd receiver (Patterson 1st and then either Hunter or Tavon second) off the board.
I would trade back slightly...
Hunter will be gone before 29 never mind late second... Prototypical size, speed and vertical.
I could see Miami, Minnesota, Houston, Seattle and even the Jests going WR in the 1st. Who knows what position the Jests will draft though because they have holes everywhere.
I'll bet that Hunter is...
Opens up so many possibilities:
Sign Aquib 4 years 28 million.
Henry Melton, whatever it takes. Lets win those trenches. AA-HM-VW-CJ has so much power AND athleticism.
Wes Welker? Maybe. Jennings? Maybe, prefer Welker. Please stay away from Bowe and Wallace. The WR draft looks mighty fine and...
I dont think Ansah gets past the Lions, at least I hope not. Keep that guy out of the AFC East please. Hes a monster. The sky is the limit.
Manx, what do you think about Cornelius Washington? Hes pegged as a 4-5 rounder but I feel like he could go as early as 2nd round if not 3rd. Impressive...
If the Jests draft C Patterson, I will be very angry. Not because I think we have a chance (we dont), but because he can be deadly as a gadget guy from day 1. When and if he develops into an outside receiver, which I think he will, he can be one of the best in the league. Has all the tools, just...
Da'Rick Rogers. Size and explosion. His ten yard split wasnt the best but that was counteracted by his vertical and broad jump. Maybe he cant get off the line as quick as some others but hes a load at 217, uses his hands well to disengage from press and is very physical.
This is the type of...
Interested in lots of situational pass rushers in the middle rounds. Malicah Goodman, Cornelius Washington, Corey Lemonier, Armonty Bryant and Devin Taylor.
Goodman has good but not great explosion with vert of 31.5 and broad of 114. I was surprised by how strong he is. 26 reps with ALMOST 37...
Intrigued with Stedman Bailey as a value pick. While hes not that tall (5 ft 10), he has excellent measurables. Long arms (32 3/4), huge hands (9 7/8) and a good 3 cone time. In the 3rd I would take him depending on our picks beforehand.
1st Id take Patterson, Hunter or Hopkins. Doubt any of...
Trade 1 back for mid 2nd and 3rd unless J Cooper or DeAndre Hopkins are still on the board.
2A Wheaton
2B Logan Ryan
3A Da'Rick Rogers, My binkie.
3B Trade back for 4 and 5
4 Reid Fragel
5 Cornelius Washington (who may rise)
7 Hester/Hyde/Haden, CB with some upside. Want to see D...
While I do see some similarities between Hopkins and Boldin, if we must make comparisons I would say Hopkins is more like Roddy White and Da'Rick Rogers will be more like Boldin.
I think these are my two favorites in the draft along with Wheaton.
Patterson is raw but a physical specimen with...
Even though Rogers didnt have the best split, he did have a great 3 cone and is obviously very explosive seeing his broad jump and vertical. I think hes the kind of target we need. Someone who doesnt need a match up to get it. Big, physical with a huge catching radius. He and Hopkins are...
Boy did Tenessee produce some physical specimens this draft. Hunter, Patterson and Rogers. Wide Receiver U at its best in a long time.
The speed of Patterson and Hunter and the explosion of Rogers and Hunter are off the charts.
Overall depth is crazy as well. Think we'll see 10 receivers...
