**The official Day 3 Patriots Draft Thread**

[Wilfork#75]

Hopefully Mark Herzlich in a few picks

I would wait, there are a lot of good LB's still on the board, I think he will still be there in the 6th.

What about Lawrence Guy? 34DE maybe

I really like his upside, definitely and option.

 

[mgteich]

Agreed. Some had Todman in the second.

Don't be surprised by another RB drafted since there are several good ones still available.

Would like to see Romeus picked.

 

[Dufflebagz]

Please tell me he hates this draft, I'll feel more comfortable.

Hate is an understatement....I think he's on the verge of the blowing Gillette up.

 

[jefmblrd]

I would love to hear they have picked Herzlich in this round.

 

[eom]

I'm getting excited....!!!

 

[BritPat]

I want it to be Fusco, I think it might be Greg Romeus.

My official prediction though for the pick is Caleb Schlaudraff, OG, Utah.

I'm getting excited....!!!

Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

 

[boston22407]

I would love to hear they have picked Herzlich in this round.

I would love to get him

 

[JoeShmoe]

I'm getting excited....!!!

Trade down

 

[patchick]

Romeus, Fusco & Moore all work for me...

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I want it to be Fusco, I think it might be Greg Romeus.

My official prediction though for the pick is Caleb Schlaudraff, OG, Utah.

We're definitely on the same line of thought, my British brother. I'd be happy with any of those players, though I still wouldn't rule out WR.

 

[Uncle Rico]

They still have a need at RB

True enough; but it's still funny.

For the record, I don't agree with a lot of the "Patriots don't draft for need" talk. They took Solder because one way or another Light's days with the Pats are numbered and they see a need to improve; they got Dowling because they need to be less vulnerable in the secondary beyond McCourty; they took two RBs (so far) because they have 2-3 veterans who have a good chance of not returning. I just think this draft has made it clear that what BB sees as needs for the team is different than what many others did.

 

[PatsCanDoIt]

Romeus or Law Guy. OR whatever

 

[PatriotsInGA]

WR please?

 

[patchick]

Skrine has a ton of potential.

 

[Wilfork#75]

This draft has fallen great for the Pats, I can't belive BB didn't like the value. Oh well, next year looks to have some pretty good players. 2012- Alshon Jeffery or bust

Please be Romeus

 

[A_Ghost_In_The_Machine]

What's the betting BB trades this pick and the Vikes take Romeus?

 

[jah]

I don't know **** about any players available now (except for my binky McElroy, which obviously won't happen after Mallett), so hopefully this will amount to more than camp fodder.

 

[Joker]

hey..wait a minute!!! the Pats haven't taken a tight end in this draft....we ALWAYS draft at least one TE...it's a Patriot tradition...

 

[PatriotsInGA]

Using all 5 minutes...trying building tension in the 5th round
