No OLB/DE in the first round.

I'm surprised in the relative lack of talk about Kerrigan. He's got the size and quickness (I said quickness, not speed), motor and intangibles to fit with this defense. Plus, he's a monster on tape. The guy just creates sacks and forces fumbles.

Heyward or Ellis can be had in round 2 and, IMO, are not much of a dropoff from Watt or Wilkerson. I say move up for Kerrigan, trade down from 28, and get one of those DEs.

The thing that I dont get about Kerrigan are the complaints about his pass coverage abilities or whether he can play in space. Other then Von Miller, who is all but out of reach, is there any other 3-4 OLB who has that ability coming out of college? And the knock on Miller is that maybe he isnt strong enough to set the edge. My point is that it seems there will always be an issue with anyone us Pats fans may want at OLB in the 3-4. Quinn, A. Smith, B. Reed, Sheard and Houston are all names I have heard put forth as possible Pats pciks for the OLB position. I cant see any of them who may be better of then Kerrigan in coverage. Kerrigan proved in the combine that he is quick and that he is faster then previously thought. And with his football IQ, intangibles and work ethic, I think he will be ok if asked to cover somebody.

I would like the Pats to trade up to get Watt and Kerrigan. They could make a couple of trades and still probably have 3 or 4 picks somwhere between rounds 2-3. Maybe a mid 2nd, 2 early 3rds and a late 3rd. Then pick up a couple o-lineman, a wr and a rb.

I'm not saying cam will be or better than seymour, but when i see cam play he reminds me a little bit of richard and can see him in a our uniform

I like the cut of your jib jukes. Don't worry about the heyward haters. The "I told you so" on the 26th will be even sweeter :rocker:

I'm sorry I am just a Ohio State hater. I really like Vrabel and C.Carter but it was very telling when they had the top 100 all time players and there was only 1 of them there. Of all the highly recruited and promoted players there are simply too many Terry Glenns, Vernon Gholstons, Dan Wilkersons. Plenty of solid players but not many stars, and certainly not enough given their hype leaving school. Without a doubt the most over rated players of any school in the NCAA. NO, I didnt go to Michigan, I just look at the stats.

Using this logic we should draft every wr from missippi valley state. O I forgot they no longer have a football program.

WRONG!!

HERE is your actual quote:




Clearly, you're struggling, somewhere below a 4th Grade level, with the fundamentals of verb tenses.

....which of course makes your fumbling attempt to lecture me on them doubly amusing.

Good luck with that.

The only mistake there was the "lock up" part.
But anyone with half a brain could tell you that I meant we SHOULD have locked up Seymour if we were just going to use this pick on a DE.
But of course, you'd rather be immature and start an argument about one mistake even though you understand what I meant.
Half fun in the sixth grade today!

Using my logic we should take those players that arent over hyped. I cant remember a single one of those from MVS.

I think heyward is pretty damn close

I'll be disappointed if the Patriots pass on Heyward in the second round [33].
