It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Due to overwhelming popular demand (ok, maybe just one PM), I'm proud to bring you the annual PatsFans draft contest! Come one, come all, to gaze into the silver-blue flame and divine the deepest workings of Bill Belichick's mind!
The rules are simple: for each pick the Patriots have in the upcoming draft, name one player you think they'll pick. You don't have to match the player to the slot. You can pick nothing but round-2 DB prospects if you like. The scoring is a straightforward 1 point for every name on your list who ends the weekend as a drafted Patriot.
This contest is never easy. Save for 2010, henceforth to be known as "The year they actually gave us what we wanted, except of course an outside pass rusher, duh," it has proved a yearly exercise in humility. And this year is even harder. 'Cause here's the sad little secret about 2010...the Patriots had 12 picks that year. TWELVE. That's a lot of darts to throw. This year, you only get to list SIX names.
So, name your six and claim your glory!
p.s. to make sure you get proper credit for your oracular powers, please take care with your spelling and try to enter only once. thanks.
Nick Perry: probably not gonna happen, but he should be there right around our slots. The guy really makes too much sense to add. I really think he would be very very good in our defense
Michael Brockers: it's weird, I'm starting to get the same feeling with him that I did with Big Vince right before that draft
Kendall Reyes: If we don't get Brockers; Reyes is a very good 5 tech de. He reminds me a lot of Muhammad Wilkerson, and I was CERTAIN we would pick him last year..so of course...
Harrison Smith: I really hope we don't take him. I wouldn't feel terrible if it was in a trade back in the 2nd round, but he'd probably need to be grabbed in the first, and I do NOT give him a first round grade. He's a good player, and would upgrade a huge weakness, but this is one of those where BB always says don't draft for need just because it's a need, because then you'll be drafting for that same need the very next year. I just don't think he's anywhere close to a special player.
Joe Adams: I love this guy, he's Randall Cobb 2.0. I really think we could add one wr day two looking forward at next year. It will give us the leverage with Welker.
Bruce Irvin: reminds me a lot of Rosie Colvin. Wouldn't be a bad speed rusher. Yes we really need two young rushers, because Ninko is Averago.
We've got two people with the first two picks correct!
