**The official Day 2 Patriots Draft Thread**

[jefmblrd]

On the contrary, I think this has been a solid draft so far.

We've picked a solid OT, a solid DB who is hard-hitting and a run-stopper, and an all around RB that has that first step explosion, can block and catch out of the backfield. We alternate him with BJGE. BJGE is a hard-nosed pounder who will wear them down and big V will clean up.

That's the exact word I was thinking after the Vereen pick. This is not a sexy draft, but they've drafted some good football players.

no not at all
2011 NFL Combine: Shane Vereen Runs 4.5 40 Yard Dash, Benches 225 Pounds 31 Times - SB Nation Bay Area
Report: Patriots To Sign Former Jets Running Back Danny Woodhead - Pats Pulpit

I don't know where those Woodhead numbers come from, but I'd challenge the one saying 5' 9".

 

[fumbrunner]

WOW!!! That is um... interesting. Mallet is a pat!!

 

[Patriot Missile]

Ryan Mallet. I'm fine with it.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Saints take Martez Wilson. Cool, let them deal with his stiffness. The Pats now have back to back picks. Will they take someone or trade down again?

 

[TriplecHamp]

called the mallet pick pages back and again on this page! I am a wizard

 

[NE_Paddy]

Ryan effing Mallet? F*ck me.

I'm actually sort of hoping for Mark Herzlich at this point - just for the story.

 

[brady199]

So now we got the 2 slowest QB's Ever

 

[Froob]

This board is going to go nutz(including me) if neither of these picks is front 7.

 

[mtbykr]

Pats will take a QB here, watch

 

[jefmblrd]

Wow, Patriots are about to take Mallett!

 

[kptmorgan04]

Mallet to New England!?!?!?!

Per NFL Network (TV) I am not premature here

And the Pats helped themselves get off the field on 3rd down how?

 

[b72s]

do we trade brady now????

 

[Ring 6]

I wanna pass rush, George. I wanna pass rusher who's soft an fluffy an I'm gonna cuddle him alllllll night, George.

This. Draft. Sucks. For. Pats. Backers.

Bueno? Bueno!

Sadly, few will get it Jay.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

I have to stop, Mallet, actually I like this pick, he has alot of talent, coach him up, he has more talent than any other qb in this draft.

 

[Off The Grid]

Please God NO.

 

[midwestpatsfan]

if its mallett, I said this about 10 pages back or so.

 

[Water Boy]

On the contrary, I think this has been a solid draft so far.

We've picked ...a solid DB who is hard-hitting and a run-stopper .

I never had Ras-I on my short list so I am totally in the dark on his skills. Is he a good run support tackler? Mel Kiper (FWIW) questioned his physicallity given his size. I'm more willing to trust the opinions on this board over Mel's.

 

[mgteich]

Mallett and Hoyer
One will be traded after the season
