please point out where i said this, becuase i don't remember saying it! I am saying that i don't think it's worth spending a 3rd or 4th rounder on a guy who will be a corey backup---when it's not what we are in need of now (at least not 1st in line of needs)
Asante started for us this year (he's a 4th rounder) Hobbs was a 3rd rounder, ect....i know you can't expect anything, but the pats have a great draft history!
and duckett could come in an blow out his knee in the pre-season,,that's not an argument. The bottom line is whether you think so or not, faulk and pass have been good enough in their roles the past couple years (1 ring and this year that we don't need to go into).
How do you know this? Corey could rush for 1600 yards again if he and the line stay healthy! First you say he will be a role player, now you say given the chance of a full season he could rush for 1500 yards--which is it?
The bottom line is this--you think he's worth a 3rd or 4th rounder so he could be a 4th string backup in case someone else gets injured! I don't think (while i wouldn't mind having him) it's worth the draft pick and roster spot to have a "just in case" type guy of his caliber. If we get him, great---but our history dictates that we will not take him!
