How Patriots draft will go.

[lurker1965]

The Patriots bundle up this years first next years second and this year's third to move up to 19. At the 19th pick Goodell announces the Patriots have traded the pick to the Texans.
They traded it for the Texan's #2, their #3, and their number 4 next year. We all go to bed.
The draft starts and after 5 minutes Goodell announces the Patriots have traded with Oakland. The compensation is their second and their third.
Many posters are happy that they now have picks 4 picks in the sweet spot of the draft. (Oakland's second, their own second, Texan's third, and Oakland's third - some people try to count the Patriot's own third rounder, but...)
Then the former Oakland pick is up. The pick is a safety for a division 3 school no one ever heard of before but it is known as the Rutgers of the Atlantic Mountain East Tractor/Trailer confrence.

I see the Practice Squad in this thread's future.

I think we will see a "classic" Pats draft, always going best-avail each pick, listening to any teams wishing to trade up, ideally finding a match and trading down 2-20 picks every round, stockpiling these high round pick/gains into other (most likely future) resources, also selectively drafting at the dropped spot to take advantage of the depth in this years draft, and cap it off with a great udfa run. This draft has more equal / fungible players every round than seen in years. It's custom built for a BB hope-a-dope on his more desperate and over eager GM peers (term used loosely).

The number of dislikes on this post are evidence that satire is a lost and unappreciated artform. I liked it, but I'm guessing that the shadow of Tavon Wilson has left a chill on the sense of humor of our fellow Pats Fans. It may just cut too close to our worst BB draft fears to be appreciated in our pre draft tension.

The problem is that satire is a tough act to pull off well. This might have been satire, but it reads too much like certain cr*ptacular posts of late (e.g., one poster who kept babbling about Chase Rettig).

My fault for not ending with "". In my defense I thought the tractor/trailer training school might have been obvious enough and adding a smiley would have robbed me of six dislikes.

Haha, without a smiley it's just another wingnut post we see here every day.
