The Patriots have pick #29 tonight but could trade down or trade up. They are in good position to do either
A trade value chart that I keep hearing is "out dated" but no one says what replaces it.

It's going to be an interesting draft this year as there is no consensus as to which team is going after which player or which player will be taken in the first round.

Enjoy the draft. Like Santa Clause it only comes once a year.

Every time Mel Kiper says, "I don't understand this one," you have to do a shot.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Considering all the whining on this board about the draft being pushed back all of 2 weeks, I'm surprised anyone in here is even watching it in the first place.

Let me give you newbies a preview of the thread once the Pats make their first pick...

Chicken Little: "He's a bum!"
Homer: "He looks like the next great [insert comparison to hall of famer at position drafted here]!"
Everyone Else: "Meh"

Eh, I'll be watching the Heat game and following the draft on my iPhone. I might throw on the end of it after the Heat game.

Unless it's in the draft forum where the game day thread is already five pages long.

This might be the only year where the thread in the draft forum is lapping the main forum by 5 pages from the get go. That won't last, though.

God I'd feel so awkward with this music. I'm supposed to be dancing to it not standing still lol

 

[English Patriot]

Can't wait. Start already!!

There's Hageman..... the consensus Patriot 1st pick

I agree. It really is as wide open of a draft I can remember in recent history regarding the top of the 1st round, to say nothing of wondering what the Patriots will do.

I absolutely love Marquise Lee, at least I did prior to his injury. Can't say I know much about how his rehab has gone but man, he was the man.

Who are you guys wishing we draft?

Are you ready to have your hopes and dreams crushed?

 

[English Patriot]

Anyone else think the Pats are going all in this draft and not 'by the books' as they usually do? This off season just has a 'winds of change, let get this thing done now' kind of feel to me. So i don't see any stockpiling or moving down but rather moving up to get their guy(s).
