I wonder how such a late draft will affect the picks. The Pats usually draft for a guy who can help in year 1 but is hoped to be a starter the next year. Sure, some guys exceed that. But, it seems to be our tendency early.
Will more teams pick for need because free-agency is about over? Except for the scrap heap. Could help us if we want to stockpile picks. A team in the middle of round 2 picked a guy they really didn't think they could get in Mid-first. Now, they have a huge hole and love some kid at that position.
I'd like to get a wr or interior ol unless a stud on the def. line drops. The DL kids seem to always go early. So, I don't think that happens. I would take Tuitt if he's there. Trade back like last year. Would like a 2 and 3 to do so. The reason I don't want a te early, I think the wr position is a better way to replace Gronk if he gets hurt again. Just draft a good blocking te a little later as insurance. Instead of splurging in Rounds 1 or 2. If we can get a kid who can step in at C, that allows us to save a lot of money in free agency.
Can let Wendell walk. Cut Connolly. Not too worried about finding a RG if the rest of the line is ok. Trade back. 2a WR 2b C 3a te . Then 3b, 4, 6, 6, 6 and 7 BPA's.
