1. The Pats will trade out of the 1st round. I will wonder why I wasted an hour or two of my life just to hear Jets fans boo everytime they say Patriots before trade... My wife will ask multiple times who they took, pretending not to be irritated I took over the television for no reason at all.
2. The Pats will continue trading down in second round. The message boards, myself included, will melt down because our binkies will be taken by teams like the Ravens and Jets. (Down the road, of course, we'll win AFCCGs without them and BB will be voted best GM. Statistically he receives this honor the year I am unhappiest at draft time.)
3. The Pats will then pick multiple players I've never heard of in rounds significantly earlier than said players draft grades are thought to be. I'll Google them and they'll look great and have personalities that make me think they sound like true Patriots. I'll then log back on here and complain about BBs draft reaches anyway. If they're DBs I'll be right, but it won't matter because we'll still win Superbowls. TB12/BB/Kraft are awesome.
4. I'll then watch the next 2 days of the draft where every team takes players I've never heard of, because I don't even like college football that much. It won't stop me from having an uninformed or incorrect opinion about them, and I'll continue defending my viewpoint that BB "reaches" too much. I'll be more sure of myself the more evidence there is to the contrary because I have no business even having an opinion about college players. (Seriously, check my post history. I do this every year and should be embarrassed.)
I'm going to save all that trouble this year and not post anymore about the draft nor watch the thing. I'll Google the players we take each evening and continue not having any thoughts about it until I see them play in the next year or two. Because d%#*!@t, this year I'm older and wiser. You're welcome for saving you the BS I usually spew.

I'm guessing sometime between 11--11:30. That's usually the sweet spot for the last few picks.

Took me a second to figure out what you meant -- I don't even know how or when I "Disliked" that post. Must have been the Scotch talking. I've removed the rating. Sorry Supa!You've done a great injustice to uncle rico with this post!

Great post. I have many of the same feelings, though I never criticize a pick. In fact, the more unheard of the guy is, the more fun it is finding out who in hell he is and why Kiper hates the pick so much.
Easy to do when you're a dirty rotten cheater.It's comforting to know that if the Patriots were docked ALL of their draft picks that they would still field a competitive team, if not still be favorites in the AFC. At least for a year.
Look at all the teams who need to draft perfectly just to get to a winning record.
