I didn't think this deserved its own thread, so I'll just link it here:
What we learned from McShay - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston
There's a lot of stuff here with which I agree:
- DE/OLB types should be avail. into the 3rd round; no excuse for Bill not to grab one of them,
because there is nobody - exc. Andre Carter - in free agency who can help us Kill the QB.
- Still a chance that Barron slips to 27, though it's not a good one. On Path to the Draft,
Casserly & Lombardi both liked him a a mid-1st-rounder.
- The value at WR runs from late 2nd to the end of the 3rd round; this is where Bill should grab one.
- Upshaw to the Jesters? Could be, because I feel that he'll still be on the board at 16.
- Another 2nd/3rd-round value zone is CB. If we can't get Barron, then I wouldn't mind
Trumaine Johnson at 63 as a CB-FS convert, or Harrison Smith at 48.
- If McShay has 4-5 Safeties in the 3rd-4th-round range, then he must be thinking of CB-FS converts
like Josh Robinson, Josh Norman, Omar Bolden, Casey Heyward & Jamell Fleming.
- Brockers might look like Seymour, but will he play like Seymour? I'd rather let another team
find out for themselves.
- The players who might go in the 9-12 range also might be riskier than those going
in the 17-20 range, or even 20-24 (which is where I wished we were).
