It’s that time of year again to take our best guess as to how the NFL draft will unfold. I’ve been running this contest for 27 years now, longer than my son has been alive (he’s graduated college and already in the workforce). We honor the namesake of the contest, Rich "Bama" Oljey, who loved...

The one player I am watching is Joel Bitonio. Bring him in for one year. With that said, I don't believe Robert Kraft will spend the money after all that he paid out in contracts last year. he has a history of tightening the purse strings for two years after spending to bring the team into...

He has several flaws. He has been so programmed to prevent turnovers that he won't take chances on throws. He needs to be able to take checkdown throws and take what the defense is giving him. I agree he has to get rid of the ball sooner and that may be progressing through his reads quicker...

Good point! I also think playing two rookies next to each other is an insane way to play O-line. Neither player has a veteran to lean on. This showed up big time against top defenses in the playoffs. The Patriots were able to mask this problem during the regular season because they were...

The winner of the Draft Contest is Old English with 3. Oceanizer also had 3 but the win goes to Old English as the earlier entry. Congrats to both of you for getting 3 correct. On a side note - Bakes781, Deliverey and I all identified a player that the Patriots signed as a UDFA. Bakes781...

I will admit that I wasn't a big fan of Maye because of his limited playing time in college and never having taken a snap under Center. I have said this many times if AVP and TC McCartney did anything well it was correcting the flaws that Maye had coming out of college. I don't know if you...

You have excellent recall, but you didn't include the context of the trade. It was for three 1st round picks and to pick JJ McCarthy with the Minnesota 1st round pick. In hindsight Maye worked out better, but McCarthy was playing pretty well until he got injured. That would have been an offer...

In my article after last year's draft, I said that taking Polk was like replacing Davante "Velcro" Parker with Davante Parker. I was so pissed they passed on Ladd McConkey because they already had Pop Douglas! I agree that Douglas has been misused the last two seasons, but I wouldn't hesitate...

I have written about LSU TE Mason Taylor numerous times. They can get two WR's later in the draft. Taylor turns 21 next month. His 129 receptions and 1,308 yards in just three seasons, are the most in LSU history for the position. The Patriots have two 30, soon to be 31-year-old TE's. Can...

He had a knee injury where he missed half the season and claimed he couldn't run a 40-yard dash at either the Combine or his Pro-Day. Scouts don't believe it's the injury, but an excuse not to run and confirm that he doesn't have the speed to play CB in the NFL. His estimated speed was 4.56.

Albert Breer said that Green had zero 30 Visits to any team. He has two sexual assault allegations against him. One was in High School and the other was at the University of Virginia which led to his dismissal from the team and transfer to Marshall. These are allegations that Green denies...

Sorry I couldn't post the spreadsheet so that you could follow along as the draft picks were made. I had to scored your picks by hand and Bakes781 scored 18 points and may have won the contest. patsfanfromoversea had 10 points ... I will re-check my picks which were posted as an article. I...

Those picks are amazing ...

The Draft Contest deadline has passed! Good Luck everyone and I hope you get multiple selections correct.
