For the record -- BB is the expert on CBs. It's BB's pet position and has been for a long time. He'll be the one picking them and working with them throughout TC as will Capers of course. Capers is on board to upgrade the in game management of the secondary, along with the weekly gameplans. By no means will BB be hands off with any new CBs.
No offense Sean.
The more I think about it, the more I want to pickup Gholston with that #7 and try to pickup DRC at CB in another round.
Gholston is a beast, but I think DRC is a sleeper pick that's going to really impress.
Only problem with that is that you and everyone else and their mother now feels that way about DRC. At this pace, he likely goes end of first.
Of course, if the Pats had the #31 pick in the draft ...
Losing that #31 really stinks.
As much as many of us are intrigued by DRC, there's still a good bit of talent around him.
But still, another reason why I think trading out of the #7 is the best option.
Get DRC in the 20's, and p/u a 2nd or 3rd rounder, whatever the points work out too.
I'm surprised option 5 is winning.
You guys are really comfortable with Hobbs, two non-first round picks, Mike Richardson, and Jason Webster?
That could be a lot of trouble.
I question how much JJ really likes McFadden, but if he's willing to cough up those 2 picks for McChicken legs, then I'm sure BB will be glad to take them.Trading with Dallas would really make a lot of sense in this regard, as Pats would get #22 & #30 (I think?) plus probably another pick or two.
Most mocks currently have him going low 20s, but that could change as buzz builds pre-draft.
I think back to 2004 when Troy Brown was playing nickleback. Odd stuff has happened to the Patriot's secondary, especially at CB, and they seem to make it happen. My opinion is that CB gets a lot of attention from fans, but aren't the lynchpin to a successful Patriots defense.
I admit there's a good chance that you'll be right about not having enough playmaking and experience at CB when the season starts if the CB corps looks similar to what you have listed above.
A rookie starting opposite Hobbs gives me the shudders. If we can get someone like Lito AND Law, plus draft a promising prospect or two, I'd feel OK going into the season that way. But capable veteran help is mandatory.
