Re: Official 2007 Patriots Draft Thread
BB stirred the pot thoroughly. The Pats now have Five Day One picks in 2008 to warm the avaricious hearts of those desiring to move picks forward. The Pats begin Day Two with Nine picks to play with.
My draft "needs" were partially addressed with the drafting of Brandon Meriweather in round one. At the moment I see him helping both CB and S depth concerns. Going into Day Two I have the same draft "needs" to address.
1. LB depth
2. CB depth - 1/2
3. TE depth
4. RB depth
5. S depth - 1/2
6. WR for 2008
7. OT competition
The Pats Day Two picks:
4 110
4 127
5 171 (C)
6 180
6 202
6 208 (C)
6 209 (C)
7 211
7 246 (C)
