there is NO sure thing. There are some "surer" things, but even that is ambiguous.
This organization hasn't drafted well in a while, but I don't think that either going straight to top 10 or hoarding 3rd round picks is the solution. Contrary to what lots of people here seem to think, there is a middle ground.
Taking one first-rounder is a 50% pick, taking two 2nd rounders who are 25% picks, you are likely to get a real keeper, and could end up with three. Voila.
The later rounds also sometimes produce. Brady? Troy Brown? more recently, Vollmer and Edelman?
I think instead of worrying about "sure things", the patriots should dispose of some "sure not things" and get compensatory picks.
Yeah, we have a lot of scrubs, but thats a reflection of bad personnel work by the organization. Doesn't mean that drafting isn't the answer.
