Every year at Armchair.gm I do
a series of mock drafts as the draft gets closer. I've posted the Patriots' picks here for your convenience. My draft board is a bit atypical, so be warned, the picks aren't what you're expecting.
I'd like to highlight an idea that I wrote about last year but didn't really too much opinion on it. These are two articles that I wrote for ArmchairGM.com last year after the draft, and I thought it would be appropriate to bring them both up again. Keep in mind that these were written last...
Well, here's another edition of The Early Mock, once again available with pictures and colorful sidebars on ArmchairGM.com. Just the first round this time, and there's a trade in there to mix things up.
1 Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU: Oakland loves Russell’s long bomb and is hoping that...
Well, here's another edition of the Early Mock. As always, it is available at ArmchairGM.com with pictures and extra commentary.
The picks here are somewhat unorthodox, but keep in mind the Patriots' picking strategy when reading.
1 Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU: Quinn’s stock is...
This guy sounds exactly like the type of player we would want to get a good deal on. He sounds like he wants to win, like Corey Dillon did, and I think he could be a fantastic pickup. Would you send a third or fourth rounder for him?
I usually post this column-esque mock draft on the draft forum, but with the draft discussion beginning once again I thought it would be appropriate to post it in the main board.
The draft board gets a little bit neglected because it's not the main forum. For those interested in draft...
Here's another edition of The Early Mock. I'm curious about what people think about the first Patriots pick. It's a little atypical, to say the least :D
1 Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU: The trendy pick here is Calvin Johnson, but I can’t possibly see the Raiders selecting a...
Here's the next edition of the Early Mock Note that the Patriots have objectively fallen to pick #31. Good to see :rocker: .
1 Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU: If the Raiders do not grab a QB in free agency, expect them to take this exciting prospect out of LSU.
2 Detroit: Joe Thomas...
It looks to me like the man-love of "Mangenius" has spread outside of New York. Take SI's Peter King, for example. From his most recent Monday Morning QB:
Did I miss something or did the Jets LOSE last weekend?
Though his sentiment has not been repeated quite yet, expect the hype to...
Well, here it is, the two-round version of the weekly Early Mock. Patriots picks are in bold, and I think that these picks will satisfy many people around here.
1 Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU: In a showdown between Brady Quinn and JaMarcus Russell, Russell won.
2 Detroit: Brady...
After a one-week holiday hiatus, the Early Mock has returned in full fervor, and this time without any trades. And without further ado...
(Note: Prospects with a * next to their name may or may not be entering the draft. Juniors who have declared do not have an asterisk next to their name.)...
It absolutely disgusts me that I am using trades already.
Ah well. Enjoy this week's Early Mock. I suppose there will be a little controversy over the Patriots' two picks this week, but I think that it could very well happen in this scenario.
1 Detroit: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame: The...
Here's the next edition of the Early Mock Draft, commentary and all. Patriots picks are in bold for ease of viewing. Once again, the Great Blue North draft order has been used as an objective measure, and no, I don't actually think that the Colts will win the Super Bowl.
1 Detroit: Brady...
And so comes the first of about twenty million mock drafts to grace this board in the next few months. I am currently using Great Blue North's rankings for teams, which are based solely on win percentage thusfar and strength of schedule.
#1 Detroit: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame. The Lions...
Though I know we're all high on the Pats right now after that (mostly) good performance, I'd like to give credit to Koenen. Koenen has kicked 5 field goals against us in his career (that 58-yarder in the regular season was against us), including the game-winner as time ran out. I sincerely hope...

Since it applies to the Patriots towards the end, I thought I'd post a link to an article that I wrote for ArmchairGM. Here's an excerpt:
A picture is included on the sight , as is a...
Due to a slow sports week (only two players have been arrested), I’ve decided to occupy everyone with something everyone likes to argue about – preseason rankings for the NFL.
For those of us who like to cheat, look at the quick note at the bottom before reading. :D
And without...

A few other interesting picks are also shown.
Yes, Dallas is above 7 playoff teams. Yes, Arizona is above San Diego. Honestly, I'm surprised at Brandt, who is usually intelligent about his picks instead of just making the "sexy" picks.
