Hi. We are the New England Patriots.

WE WILL NEVER DRAFT A LINEBACKER.

That it all.

My name is Bill, and I'm an anti-linebackeraholic.

Hi, Bill.

6th round is where the Pats can make the most noise but I suspect they will want to trade out of this round if possible. I know the comp picks are untradeable and we have to take someone at those.

If the Jets take Bishop or Wendling it will stink

Jets take an OT. They probably wanted Oldenburg.

 

[DaBruinz]

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 5th Round Discussion

Oldenburg is versatile. Played TE/OG/OT in college.

No real breakdown on the guy because he was off everyone's charts....

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 6th Round Discussion

Jets - Jacob Bender (OT) Nicholls St

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 6th Round Discussion

i think we should take two TEs and two OLs.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 6th Round Discussion

I wonder if we'll try and trade them for a higher pick next year?

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 5th Round Discussion

Maybe he just thinks he can't get an LB to learn the complex system.

I had heard such good things about Harris, I thought we had him at 28. The Jets have two big leader types in Vilma and Harris.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 5th Round Discussion

From PFW's Nolan Nawrocki:
Clint Oldenburg (OT) Colo St 6-5 298
Coach's son, former TE. Played RT in '05 and LT in '06.
Positives: Plays on his feet, flashed pop and punch. Has short area quickness to get in position to wall off defenders and is agressive to the 2nd level. Shows a solid grasp of the game. Very smart. Learns like a sponge. Plays through injuries. Has a good work ethic.
Negatives: Lacks mass. Has marginal arm length . Stands too tall out of his stance. Shows some stiffness and can get beat iniside by quickness. Has been dinged up.

I see some tackle-eligible touchdown catches coming.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 6th Round Discussion

Hmm...well the Pats don't always draft gold late. I'm not expecting anything out of Oldenburg.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 6th Round Discussion

I think ten picks or so have gone by and ESPN hasn't done a recap on them.

Thats a good point.

I will like that pick if it for no other reason blocked the Jets.
