Depends on how good he is. 2000 was a weak QB draft year - not top ten QB and only NoodleArm was picked in round one - yet we a day-two QB in that weak QB draft improved the team.Is a day-two TE in this weak TE draft really going to improve this team?
He will if Grahm leaves.
I taped that program so I'll have to watch Mayock's take for myself, but everthing I read on Patrick questions his blocking. He's reportedly going in the mid rounds, I'd be more interested in Clark Harris, but then I've seen him play more often.Depends on how good he is. 2000 was a weak QB draft year - not top ten QB and only NoodleArm was picked in round one - yet we a day-two QB in that weak QB draft improved the team.
Patrick is 6'4", 268# and the only TE in the draft (according to Mayock) who can catch AND block. With almost all teams looking for pass-catching TE's, he could be a steal in mid-late rounds.
And you know how many TEs BB has drafted since he came to NE.
He's from the University at Delware. Any thoughts?
Mayock didn't exactly say Patrick was good, only that he was better than the others. Maybe it is like being the most trusted and respected used car saleman in the state.I taped that program so I'll have to watch Mayock's take for myself, but everthing I read on Patrick questions his blocking.
Yep, he also limited his characterization to his top five, so Patrick is, in Mayock's view, the best and most willing blocker in the top five - sounds like car sales to me too. Mayock's co-worker in LA felt the AZ State kid was a good blocker, which I've read about. In my selections for PATSNUTMe's draft game the other day I picked up the kid from Nevada in the 7th round precisely because his write-up credited him with being one of the better blocking TE's in this draft (with hints of being a decent receiver too). This draft is looking suckier and suckier, I wonder how many picks BB trades forward?Mayock didn't exactly say Patrick was good, only that he was better than the others.

Two first round draft picks for LT? Nah, I'd see if I could get a Harry Carson, Pepper Johnson, or Andre Tippet for a 2nd, I'd even throw in a future second day pick if needed.Still sure you wouldn't trade for Lawrence Taylor?
I totally agree, not a mouth-watering draft at all. Maybe a good time to trade picks for vets, a la Dillon (yay!) and Starks (umm...).
