Who are guys that you have seen associated with the patriots that you want nothing to do with? Here are mine
1. Aqib Talib,CB-Kansas I live in lawrence, so I have seen him play in person and on tv for the last 2 years, and if you watched the combine drills, you know that he is highly overrated at this point.
He is poor in recognizing plays, he does not play near as fast as his time may say, his hips are tight and his footwork is not smooth whatsoever. He is tall, but is not physical at all.
2. Sedrick Ellis, DT- I thought Ellis looked soft at the combine and did not do great in some of the drills at the combine. For me though, I do not see him as a 3-4 guy more than anything. I see him in the Raiders or Tampa Bay system much more. I think a guy like Athyba Rubin from Iowa State is a much better fit and can be had in the 3rd or 4th probably.
3. Mike Jenkins,CB- I have limited amount of tape on him so maybe he is better than what I give him credit for,but I saw a guy who played well when he wanted to and then would get real lazy at other times. I have read that he may have some attitude issues and that is not what I want from a first round type pick.
Who are yours and why?
