2008 Draft Discussion Thread

Barring another trade, my quess at 10 is DRC.

According to the draft trade chart PATS gave up 1530 roughly. NO gave up 1500.

It would have been more fair if the PATS had not given up the 5th. Then the PATS would have given up 1500 and NO would have given up 1500.

"Fair" isn't really a concept here, it's supply and demand. If the Pats will be 100% as happy with the players available at #10 and can pay a ton less money, any picks they get back are just a bonus.

Lets trade down again!!!

I'm guessing Mayo or Albert, hoping for another trade-down though as I think a late teens-early 20's pick of Groves is better value for them...

 

[VJCPatriot]

Trade down to #15 and take Groves!!! *I WISH*
I have nearly all the teamss at 10-14 wanting OL/RB.
We can afford to move down again if we're not targeting an OL!!

Either Mayo or a big trade down... picking up picks for next year. Top 10 money is still an issue for the braintrust, I think.

 

[JoePats]

It says pick is in. I'm guessing Albert.

What a crappy trade. The saints were willing to give up a 1st, 2nd and 1st next year to get to 5. Yet the Pats can only get a 3rd and have to give up a 5th to swap 1sts?

That blows.

They were reportedly willing to give up that much to get to five for Dorsey, going higher for the better rated player. Comparing what we got to what they would have given for a completely different player at a higher spot is specious at best.

Here we go....

 

[Zeke_Mowatt]

Saweeeeet!!!!!!!

So glad to finally see a serious pick at LB for some injection of youth...wouldn't have minded Groves later, but I am SO SO SO psyched to have grabbed a great athlete. Let's hope he's what I hope he is!

 

[patchick]

They would NEVER take a LB in the 1st.

 

[VJCPatriot]

And the pick is MAYO!!
Wow.

 

[Boston Jay]

Mayo it is.

 

[Free_Pacman]

awful, awful, awful

 

[SavioKid]

MAYO....not bad...hope those 3rds turn into some 2nds for CBs / DE /OL..

 

[scroticus]

Now get him signed and in. No holdout nonsense.

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

ROFL Yeee Haw Pony Express! Hiya Sebby and Ochmed!

 

[VJCPatriot]

OMG time to get all my Mayo puns ready to go...

Mayo or Maynot, there is no TRY!

Let's hope Mayo is the next Patrick Willis... !!!!
