Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

I don't think Branch gets by Dallas honestly. They love their big DL in Texas.

Oh and just a warning flag but Olsen is still out there. I'm not sure that BB could withstand the temptation if he should slide.

If KC doesn't take Quinn, then the Pats will trade their #28 to the Browns to beat out Baltimore or Chicago.

15 minutes per pick is too freakin long.

Re: Official 2007 Patriots Draft Thread

Might as well jump ahead and say -- Staley to the Giants.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

meh i rather Houston. I like my CBs fast enough to stick with guys like Steve Smith..Chad Johnson..and so on. Also like them real physical..Houstons got a nice jam and sticks to them

I like Houston too, the only thing I worry about is how raw he is. The Pats can coach him up though, he has serious potential as a top cover corner. His run support is a little iffy too.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

DAMN!!

OK, Aaron Ross it looks like will be a Pat

GOD. I hope not. Ross is everything the Pats DON'T look for.

Not field intelligent. Lousy strength. Struggled with academics. Marginal Tackler.

Come on. As BB is fond of saying: "Don't give me a defensive player who can't tackle. What am I going to do with him?"

Three names for the Giants:
Staley
Beason
Posluszny

I'll go OT Joe Staley

I dunno how he got the "marginal tackler" rap. I watched all but one Texas game this year (kind of hard to miss them here in San Antonio), and Ross struck me a solid tackler at the CB position. He produced very high tackle numbers for a corner as well, and that's not from getting beat and then tackling his man.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

eh
Giants need secondary
Jacksonville can use a safety
Dallas can use a FS like Nelson or a young corner to start across Newman..KC can use a CB

we need help
i think Giants go defense

Jacksonville goes Safety
Dallas goes with Spencer

With 5 teams to pick ahead of us,
Pats are sure to have a choice among these 6:

Ross/Poz/Griffin/Wade/Harris/Houston.

Wade is a late 2 prospect..

Well, you are also the person who claimed that Revis has bad feet.

Also, I suggest you go back and look at HOW he tackled. He's not a wrap up tackler. He's a grab and drag type tackler. That's not a good thing. Also, He's not great against the run.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion
