I'll seriously eat my Patriots Jersey if they go RB in Round #1

I'll seriously eat my Patriots Jersey if they go RB in Round #1

Agreed. And this RB is not an every down back either. This would be the most surprising pick BB has made. I think Butler before Brown, and front 7 or OL much more likely.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Is anybody hearing anything about BB taking Ayers of Tenn. if he can not get into the top 10 for Tyson Jackson?

Apparently it was bantered about on sports radio for a full five minutes.

I could live with Brown of Uconn. He has the best vision of all the runners I have seen in this draft.

Why would the Pats take a running back when they just signed Fred Taylor a free agent running back to go with Maroney. The Pats have a running back by committee.

When I heard the rumour of a trade up that was my second thought;

First thought, yea, just like when we were going to draft that DL Robertson with the 4th pick 2 years ago, or so.

Second thought was Ayers, Only BB would make such a surprise move, but all it would take is some positive input from Mayo.

Pass rush is the number one priority in my book,, Reiss has drilled that in ,,

I thought Mel Kiper was an expert.

Did he take more then 5 minutes to study the patriots needs?

The bold picks are ones I could understand. I want to say that Donald Brown has no chance of making it into round 2, but Butler does. If Butler is gone, Alphonso Smith will be there.

Brown would be a huge shocker. I know Kiper's been mentionning this as the pick for a little while now... but wow - I'd be quite surprised/disappointed.

Truth : Other than the year Dillon went crazy, his 1st in NE, the Brady era has been pass 1st, run later. Unless Brown plans on being a 1600+ Dillon-type, not interested.

As my uncle used to say; "His ***** is sucking canal water." I think it was there way of saying you are full of it.
