Just got the Sporting News Draft Guide

Just got the regular weekly edition and they have updated their rankings on their value baord.

Here is their 7 round Patriots mock

24 Meriweather - Assuming the Pats clear his background check, I'd see him as a CB here.
28 Harris:rocker: okay
91 Tarell Brown CB, TX could be a good one or a bust Two misdemeanor charges for possession in 7 months, what are they thinking giving him to the Pats? Dropped charges and being in the same car aside, the kid is not making good choices.
127 Dwayne Wright RB Fresno:rocker: H'mmm
171 Rhema MCKnght WR ND okay value here
180 Chris Bender OT Nicholls State Have to look him up good pick-up
202 Chris Denman OT Fresno H'mmm
208 Maurice Price WR Charleston So. have to look him up okay
209 Tyler Ecker RE Mich H'mmm
247 Jason Trusnick DE Ohio Northern - have to look him up Likely looking prospect

I'll need to control my enthusiasm.

Here is my mock. I went easy on Sebman and went and found it.


Pats trade #24 for #38 and # 69 and a 3rd in 2008..

#28 - Darelle Revis - CB
#38 - Brian Leonard - FB/RB
#69 - Stewart Bradly - ILB/OLB
#91 - Zak DeOssie - ILB/OLB
#127 - Sabby Piscatelli - SS
#171 - John Wendling - FS
#180 - Allan Barbre - OT
#202 - Usama Young - CB
#208 - Chris Davis - WR
#209- Anthony Waters - ILB
#247 - Will Herring - FS

Bump Waters up in place of Barbre and plug either Bender (Nicholls State) or Hall (Texas A&M) in at 209 and you've sold me.

#28 - Darelle Revis - CB

I hope he's still on the board, since I have him ranked as the number one CB in this draft for NE.

#38 - Brian Leonard - FB/RB

I've said in the past that I wouldn't take him in the first round, but I'd be fine with taking him in the second round.

#69 - Stewart Bradly - ILB/OLB

I like him, and like the pick. This is probably around where he will actually go.

#91 - Zak DeOssie - ILB/OLB

I like DeOssie but I do think some of us overrate him a little. I'd rather take him in the fourth round if he was on the board. I don't really see him playing ILB either. (He even said he wants to play OLB).

#127 - Sabby Piscatelli - SS

Good pick if he last that long.

#171 - John Wendling - FS

I doubt he's still on the board. Wendling is one of my favorite Safeties so I probably would have taken Wendling where you selected Piscitelli

#180 - Allan Barbre - OT

Good zone blocker, but he needs to get stronger. He'd be good value if he last this long, since he's expected to go in the 4th-5th rounds.

#202 - Usama Young - CB

I like the player, but think he's already off the board.

#208 - Chris Davis - WR

I really like this guy, and think he would fit the offense well. He's on my short list of WR's for NE, and I actually have him ranked higher on my list than some of the early round WR's (in terms of his fit for the offense).

#209- Anthony Waters - ILB

I had him in my mock draft, but I think it was in the fifth round. Do you think he'll last this long, since everyone seems to think he's progressing well?

#247 - Will Herring - FS

He has the size and speed to play SS, and he played LB so he should be a pretty tough player. Some question if he'll ever be a starter, but that's generally why these guy's are late round picks.


going back to your comments on Tarrell Brown. I haven't advocated drafting him because of the same reason's you cited, so I actually agree with you there. I have Rhema McNight on my list, but at or close to the bottom of it. I basically agreed with a lot of what you said, I was just wondering about your own mocks, because I couldn't remember reading them.
