Re: Who Was the Top 2006 Deensive pats rookie?
BTW, those 8 listed are the players I'd expect to contribute week in and week out ..... i.e. to be active throughout the season.
I only need them to help win a SB next season. I'm not building for the future with them
The Ravens also had a secondary, and defense, that was healthy and at 100%. We didn't!
If those two players are best players at the time, sure. Otherwise, I don't think the Pats will go out of their way to draft DB's ............
Do you do powerball numbers too?First off, your projected secondary consists of eight players. That will last approximately six weeks.

Secondly, three players - Harrison, Scott, and Hawkins - are nearing the ends of their careers.

I think the Colts/Ravens playoff game demonstrated the importance of having an impact safeties in the secondary: the Ravens played them deep, coming downhill for picks, and they frustrated Manning all game long, instead of for just a half.

I think there is an opportunity for one rookie corner and safety to make this roster immediately. I'm not saying they WILL be drafted first day, it all depends on who's available and when, but if I was playing percentages for those three first day picks, I'd be looking for the Pats to address the secondary twice.
