Anyone think BB would ever do this? My tought is that I really like the idea of drafting a stud tackle (if available) with our first pick and "building a fortress" around Brady. That will help our pass protection, help our running game and hopefully give Watson more of a chance catching the ball.
But I also think the Pats really need to address WR and RB early. And from what I have seen and read, I don't see to many good players for either postion after the 2nd round. The guys I like are Joseph Addai-RB-LSU and Mike Hass-WR-Miami (OH). I really can't see either one being available after round 2. Maybe Hass will slip with him not being invited to the Senior Bowl. But I think these two postions are more pressing then some others, LB, S, CB.
At LB we still have a great 4-some, who are getting a little long in the tooth. But Bruschi, Vrabel and Colvin should be productive for a couple/few more years. That may give us an option of picking up a LB in round 3 or 4 and developing over the next year or two.
As for CB and S, we have drafted a few young guys there over the past couple of drafts: Sanders, Gay, Hobbs. And some of the others are still young: Wilson and Samuel. I really think we should address these holes in FA and get some vets in here. Then address this later in the draft.
Thoughts?
one last thing, as for possible RB and WR I like after round 2, Jerious Norwood-RB-Mississippi St, Dontrell Moore-RB-New Mexico, Skyler Green-WR-LSU and Greg Jennings-WR-Western Michigan. But can these guys can be everyday/dependable players?
