I realize that these guys dont follow all the teams closely, but really...is it that hard to look up the past 2 drafts and see what each team has drafted?
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just being cranky?
I haven't seen this. Certainly not "loading up," although I have seen a few here and there that have the Pats taking CB Trevard Lindley in the first round(!).
Links would be appreciated.
Round 2 - Navarro Bowman, OLB, PSU
A 230 pound LB with no more than 4 sacks in a college season is not going to solve any pass rush problems at all.
Sorry, I changed that a few days ago when I read of his (Navorro's) past legal trouble. Wasn't thinking...
Mayo - speaking of CB's - I'd be interested in your appraisal of Patrick Petersen (2011 Draft) and Amari Spievey (2010 or 2011 Draft). They are my two favorite CB's in college this year... really high on Spievey this year. Wouldn't mind the Patriots grabbing him in the 2nd or trading into the 3rd round to grab him.

Patrick Peterson is a blue chip prospect, possibly the best CB prospect since Champ Bailey. I have him neck and neck with North Carolina DE Robert Quinn as the prospect I'd most like to see us take with Oakland's 2011 1st round pick.
I haven't watched a ton of Spievey play. You certainly can't discount Kirk Ferentz players as potential prospects. I'm not as high on him as I am someone like Alabama CB Kareem Jackson, who next to Joe Haden is my favorite draft eligible CB prospect for 2010.
Except for the fact that, IIRC, the Pats have taken ZERO Iowa players in the Draft. . . .

Well, Mike Elgin counts I guess... 2007 Patriots Draft Picks
ZERO Iowa players before the seventh round.
The last thing that Pats need is another Safety. I could see them taking another CB, but this team has much more pressing (as in a dying need for a pass rush) needs.
I would not rule out drafting a safety or any other position for that matter.
I saw a mock that had us taking QB Clausen of Notre Dame in the first round and I was not surprised.
as BB says, it all about improving the football team.
Our 2010 NFL Mock Draft has the Patriots taking the following:
Round 1 - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Round 2 - Jeremy Beal, DE/OLB, Oklahoma
Round 2 - Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
Round 2 - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Like Mayo said, if Leigh Bodden doesn't get resigned, that changes everything. The Patriots would need a CB in the first two rounds, probably at the expense of Tate.
At this point, I'm hoping that the 2011 Raiders 1st Rounder turns into Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU.
