I am happy with Moss but surprised in the rest of the picks.
Strange draft
ya whats your point, have you liked the off season? if you havent i think you neen another teamlike what we did for next year, like moss, like meriweather, warm on Brown, the other guys Im not even sure will make the team. its obvious the Pats did not like this draft.
the guys you talk about have been in the system and understand the system and are good backup players which every team needs any linebacker drafted would be probably slotted behind mays and alexander, also dont give up on alexander he was thrown into a tough sitaution, and may have gotten valuable experieceThe problem is that the Pats NEED players to make this team. Particularly at ILB. Alexander is a very good special teamer. Mays, in my honest opinion, was last year's equivalent of Dexter Reid and he won't make the team this year.
The Pats also had reserve O-linemen and D-linemen spaces available.
I am disappointed they didn't add more in the way of safety.
I am also disappointed that they only added one CB. Eddie Jackson is probably going to be PUPed along with Chad Jackson, and I expect BOTH to end up IRed unless there are injuries that force them to be activated.
However, I don't see Mays or Alexander having secured their spots. Chad Scott definitely doesn't have a spot secure. Neither does Randall Gay for that matter.

Agree. We will suck in 2007, but on the bright side, if they go 4-12 this year, we will have good draft picks next year.The problem is that the Pats NEED players to make this team.

1)Merriweather-Great pick
2)Welker-Great pick
3)Traded to Oakland, weird move.
4)Moss-Great pick
4)Kareem Brown-weird move, would have traded an extra #6 to try to get DeOssie
5)Oldenburg-ok pick, makes sense, a former TE light weight Tackle, fits zone blocking scheme.
6)Justin Rogers-weird pick, would have drafted Desmond Bishop or John Wendling in that spot. Like his size though.
6)Mike Richardson-Ok pick, at this point, CB depth is all you can wish for.
6)Justise Hairston-Good pick, very talented, has great size, and may be the power back to spell Maroney, I hope he has a great training camp and makes the team.
6)Corey Hilliard-Good pick, was rated higher than Oldenburg by some.
7)Oscar Lua-weird pick, no way I take this guy over Siler, I don't care what anyone says, Siler is head and shoulders above Tua.
7)Mike Elgin-ok pick, line depth and possible practice squad player. Would have gone with Kyle Young here, but Elgin is very light, may be a good zone blocker.
Overall I would give the Pats draft an "A", but without Welker & Moss, a "C-".

Merriweather will start this year in place of Geno Wilson. Wilson really slid the past two years and will likely be the one playing nickle IMO.
