Re: WOW, we had 2 #1's, and yet the Jets have had a ten times better draft than us...
Where did I say the Jets passed us ? I just said their draft is way better than ours. We gave up our chance to pick up a very solid prospect, whether it was Harris or Pos. We may, I repeat may pick up a decent prospect in the 3rd round, but god knows players picked in the 4th round or later usually have no chance of panning out.
Someone mentioned that there are no roster spots available, then why even use those 3rd-7th round picks ?
I highly doubt the San Francisco #1 pick will be in the top ten, it may even be in the 20's, they are incredibly improved (draft & FA), and play in a somewhat weak division. And how can you even speculate that next years draft is even better or even deeper than this years ?
To those of you who attacked me personally, I've been a Pats fan for probably longer than most of you have been alive, so I think I'm entitled to my opinion. I'm not going to wear rose colored glasses and drink the Koolaid if I think the Pats made a mistake, really, what's wrong with disagreeing with their moves once in a while, especially if you really feel strongly about it. I'm not doing it for fun, I truly think this will be a major mistake that will haunt us for a while. I truly feel Harris or Pos will become stars. I'm not wrong in saying Bellichick & Pioli have been terribly wrong sometimes, Bethel Johnson instead of Anquan Boldin was a huge mistake, and we still don't have a WR as good as Boldin. I'm sure I can come up with many more. Sure, many have worked out, but nobody is perfect, and mistakes will be made, I just feel this one was a huge mistake.
So, the Jets add Jones, Harris, and Revis.
We add Meriweather and who knows who else in the draft, Thomas, Welker, Stallworth, Washington, Morris, possibly Moss, and we have two first-rounders next year, and the Jets have passed us?
What the f*** planet did I wake up on?
