who would you take in the draft with our second pick right now.

Seymour is only signed thru 2009. Drafting C. Long would make him expendable. Given Richard's injury history, Long might actually save us against the cap, in the long run.

we will probobly sign seymour back

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.

Very, very good point. A lot of people are forgetting that the Patriots are operating in Brady's window. Therefore they should focus on winning as many championships as possible while he's still here to lead the team. Add McFadden, and you're looking at the possibility of the first 3PEAT in NFL history!

This is a very talented veteran team that can afford to add 1 or 2 pieces that help put them "over the top." Why be a hostage to Maroney and Morris' injuries when you can add the next LT or Jim Brown to complete your roster??

"I definitely considered James Laurinaitis. The thing that held me back
was the fact that Bill Belichick seldom drafts linebackers. I heard
him once say in an interview that he needs to "trust" the guys at that
position. That's why he frequently signs free-agent linebackers,
including Rosevelt Colvin and Adalius Thomas. Could he be overwhelmed
by Laurinaitis' talent? Sure - but I don't know if he would trust a
rookie. Belichick seems like a guy who wants to do something one way
and not change anything. It took him years to finally provide Tom
Brady with adequate weapons. I think he'd like some stability at the
running back position, given that Laurence Maroney hasn't been able to
stay healthy. Darren McFadden should be the pick, now that the Jets
are winning, and the Patriots are all but guaranteed the No. 2 pick
because the 49ers are horrendous."

Thank you. Well what do you know, Walterfootball.com agrees. McFadden it is!

If you can guarantee me that McFadden will be the next LT or Jim Brown, who are nothing alike, and not Rashaan Salaan or Ki-Jana Carter, then I will switch to the Pro-McFadden camp.
