It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Question for all you guys: If Watt and Jordan are both available and Pats take Jordan, how do we know if it's because they feel he's the better player or if it's due to the Condon/agent issue?
Well, this is fun.
What he's saying is: there are teams desperate for quarterbacks who like the quarterbacks on offer enough to go for them in the first round.
We should know with the first pick. If Carolina really do take Newton then the rush may be on and he could be right. Still, I'd bet that several teams would hang back to see if they could pick up their guy in the late first. (Jonathan Kraft said on ESPN the other day that taking a quarterback in the first round was preferable for the extra rookie contract year, even if you might still get him in the second.) Either way it's good for the Pats -- either front seven players fall or they have very valuable commodities to trade at 17 and 28.
Just look at the booty. JJ Watt doesn't have one, therefore i don't believe he is on Pats radar. You have to be able to sit that big thang down to take on the double team. Pats have never had a 3-4 end built like Watt.
Edit: Rob Rang on Jordan: Run defense: Stout run defender. Understands gap responsibilities in the 3-4 defense. Has the long arms to keep defenders away from his chest and the bulk to anchor.
lmao.This is what the NFL draft is about. Self-proclaimed draft gurus analyzing guys arses.
I agree btw.
5 QB's in the top 12? WOW
The guy has an amazing track record. If 5 QB's go early, I see Pats doing a lot more moving down than normal.
That's why I think all the Pat's trade up talk is just a smokescreen to bluff some teams into panicking i.e San Diego or Houston etc.. to move up

Even as a Watt fan, I'll admit he's a little light in the posterior. But as for Pats "never having a 3-4 end built like Watt," how many of those have been in existence?
So let's imagine that Gosselin's sources are accurate. You're sitting at 17 and Jordan, Quinn, Watt, Amukamara, Costanzo etc. are all on the board. What do you do? Personally, I'd be on the phone trying like made to trade up from 28.
You worry too much, it's not like Brady's fragile or anything.Who's going to back up Brady at that point? Crompton? Matt Gutierez? Testaverde? It seems a big ask to get a quarterback this late in the offseason, whether by draft or free agency, and have him conversant enough in the Pats offensive system to be the primary backup in September.
We don't.Question for all you guys: If Watt and Jordan are both available and Pats take Jordan, how do we know if it's because they feel he's the better player or if it's due to the Condon/agent issue?
Gosselin could easily be tipping off who is looking to trade down.
Teams that would like to trade down -though they will keep pick for the right player - include 49ers, Cowboys, Redskins, Lions, Seahawks.
6 picks off the board and he's 6 for 6. Wow.
