**The Official Day 1 Patriots Draft Thread**

[Urgent]

While NE may want to trade down, Seattle apparently was working to trade down and couldn't. Reduces the likelihood NE can.

 

[PatDaPatriot]

Wow, Seattle grabbed Carpenter...

 

[West Philly Patriot]

There goes my carpenter pick.......

 

[Wilfork#75]

Another binky bites the dust

 

[VJCPatriot]

Seahawks just took Carpenter. LOL. The predicted OL run continues! Wow that's way early though!

 

[RodThePat]

James Carpenter.

BU..BU.. SOLDER WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT 28, WUT R THESE MUHRANS THINKIN????!!!!

 

[Rob0729]

Well, Solder is looking like a better pick now. A run on O-linemen.

 

[Greg]

People reaching for OL now. Pats know what they are doing and more importantly what others teams want and need too.

 

[jah]

A black Patriots OL just wasn't meant to be, I guess. But WOW, didn't see that happening...

 

[jays52]

Ingram would be totally cool with me @28

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Now THAT is a reach, they wanted to trade down, just nobody wants in, all the trades that everyone thought would be here, are moot as all the QBs are gone, kinda want Dalton and Mallett to make it thourgh round one now, so the price for #33 goes up.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Since the Pats took Nate Solder, it started a run on O-line picks.

It's almost as if it was a strategic move to start a run on O-linemen.

 

[RayClay]

James Carpenter to SEA.

It's an OL draft.

 

[Off The Grid]

James CARPENTER???

REACH much??? :bricks:

 

[Patfiend]

Brooks Reed @ 28?

 

[sevengables_2207]

I think we can get heyward @ 33 and trade 28 into next year.

I would love for this to happen. :rocker:

 

[ivanvamp]

Even if Solder has best possible year imaginable next year, we did nothing to help us beat the Jets next year. We couldn't pressure Sanchez and he picked us apart. We still can't pressure him. He will torch us next year.

I don't know....I mean, an OL that can open up holes for RB's or provide better protection for Brady....those things wouldn't help the Patriots beat the Jets?

 

[West Philly Patriot]

A black Patriots OL just wasn't meant to be, I guess. But WOW, didn't see that happening...

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

 

[Rob0729]

Brooks Reed @ 28?

I have read he might be the safest bet as an 3-4 OLB.

 

[JackBauer]

Some good options at 28...
