6 7th round picks!! The Pats are gonna OWN the 7th round!!!!
I guess there is always a chance that they could hit on a flyer or two. If this is the deepest draft since 1983, having a bunch of picks at the end will put the Pats ahead of the game in UDFA market.
Too bad you can't trade them.

The Pats do have several spots that could be attacked with late round picks...3rd/developmental QB, 3rd/developmental TE, punter, 5th/6th WR, latest entry into Dante's prep school, conversion projects/redshirts. How about this:
QB Tim Hiller
TE Nate Bynum
P Matt Dodge
WR Seyi Ajirotutu
OL Joe Hawley
LB O'Brien Schofield
Change the names to your favorites, but that is a reasonable haul that could be sitting there in the 7th round.
Very Nice, I think Schoefield would be an excellent guy to take a chance. I really like Bynum.
FWIW, here are all the players the Pats have drafted in the 7th since 2004, categorized by the reason they were still available so late. The names in red were major-conference players experienced at their positions but lacking in physical attributes and skills. The names in blue were shoot-the-moon prospects with great athletic potential but no high level experience at their prospective positions.
Christian Morton
Matt Cassel
Andy Stokes
Willie Andrews
Oscar Lua
Mike Elgin
Julian Edelman
Darryl Richard
From that small sample, the "blue" approach looks pretty darned good.
With Schofield having blown out his knee during Senior Bowl practices, I'm not sure if the Pats take a flyer on him or not..
