Brady
McFadden/Maroney/Morris/Faulk
Moss
Welker
Heaven's O-Line
Our offense would be even better. Sure a RB's shelf life these days is about 4 years, but the next 4 years will be Brady at his best, add a star running back to the mix? Seize the damn moment.

That's a pretty good point about running back's lifespan in the NFL relative to Brady's prime. I think Brady is in the smack dab middle of his prime. In 3 years he'll begin to decline if he hadn't started already.
If he hadnt started already???? What??? Try passing the joint around.
You took the post out of context, don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
I said in 3 years it will start if it hadn't already started already implying that it could start sooner then 3 years from now. (With that said, I'm putting the over under adt 2.5 and saying it's over.
As for taking McFadden, I hope you guys ignore your LB position. Something I've learned you can't afford to do when you have old LBs who are still producing.
I don't believe the Patriots should use that first pick either, but should trade down. What about picking up someone like Steve Slaton from WV in the 2nd round. A lot of teams have him dropping until then because of size, but he could be a beast.
And another thought. The Patriots have had very good success with signing FAs below market value because of the opportunity to win a SuperBowl. If they do end up with a 2 or 3 pick couldn't they negotiate with the player. With that high of a pick they will likely know who would fall to them and could talk with them. Say McFadden would be available at #2. They could talk to him about signing a cheaper contract, but being favored to win a SB in his rookie season, or the Patriots could trade the pick and he could go to someone like the Falcons or Bengals. I don't think any high draft pick has ever been in this position before, and it is something to think about.
Concerning Dorsey being rated top 3
A 6'1" DL one gap lineman who runs a 5.1 ... this kid is way overhyped IMO.
Someone is going to ruin a top pick by taking this kid. He's fun to watch IMO but in the NFL he'll be shoved all over the place. Is he better than Vince Wilfork who we picked at #21 ... I doubt it.
